Too many winners on one team?

[laura.weislo]

We've posted a really great interview with Quick Step boss Patrick Lefevere that talks about the '96 Paris-Roubaix and how he decided the finishing order for his three riders who entered the velodrome together as the lead group:

It's an interesting tale. Quick Step has three great one-day riders.

Astana has three great Grand Tour riders.

The politics which must enter in to the decision of who is team leader are interesting. How does a team manager keep the team from turning into a soap opera?

They need to have several so that whenif the UCI sanction them, they still might have a leader.

I tend to think the sport would be better off if the star riders were dispersed across more teams. This Astana situation is bad, the same way it was bad when T-Mobile used to buy up lots of talent. I don't know how you could fix it. Maye salary caps like some american sports?

Or wait for first mountain stage and let the road decide....

agreed. T Mobile bought a lot of talent but each time the Tour came around they blew it - well, from 98 onwards. Paper squads win paper races.

Well, they competed against US postal/Discovery that was equally bad at buying up alot of talent.
