I thought he was some hack and that the Williams bros could eat the WT?

The Commonwealth Games shows the divide between continental teams and the real hitters. The United States represents on the WT, but with an entirely different type and level of talent i.e., Kuss, Sheffield, Powless, etc.. The TT and road race were a bit embarrassing for Legion (however it is spelled).

Lamperti fought some awfully hard races this year in Europe. His power, positioning and nose for the front show the level he is at and why he could win a nats title mostly without anyone working for him.
