It makes no sense to you that one team can out plan, or detail, or train, another?
Have you been paying attention the past several years? Aerodynamics, nutrition, recovery, equipment choices, course reconnaissance, race schedule leading into the Tour, are all examples of where a few teams have consistently been ahead of the curve.
Heck the Schlecks won't even train on their TT bikes or practice downhills.
We went through a period where the Aussies were dominant. They were cutting edge from top to bottom, talent ID and development to coaching to aero. It started on the velodrome and carried over to the road, and it was funded and motivated by the Sydney Olympics.
The balance of power has clearly shifted to GB, once again it started on the velodrome, has carried over to the road, and was funded and motivated by the London Olympics.
