They've gotten too much done in too short a time to mess it up now. They had some huge obstacles to get around, especially the late date they were able to start recruiting. I think this is actually the best team for Alberto this year - a team built around him rather than being a late edition to an existing team moving riders down a rung. I look forward to seeing the final roster. While the check book is still out, is there one rider on Lampre they should recruit in case they lose their license? I'm finally at ease.
