But last year Iglinskiy and Bazza haven't any chance to show their strengths, the team was overloaded by stars, each of them had to receive their piece of pie in season.
Now Astana is more balanced, but as we can see it doesn't mean the team have less wins

By "plenty" you mean LA, Contador and...red_flanders said:I think Bruyneel has directed plenty of cyclists to grand tour wins. Like him or not, you can't really criticize his record with riders in GT's.
