<< a lot of bike companies could have stepped up to the plate that were in kona (includiing ABG i presume) but they didn't. sure it doesn't hurt cannondale's image but they didn't have to do it. and nobody else did.
not entirely true. As usual people make assumptions without really knowing what is actually going on. Because Sarah was going to be featured on the telecast and because Cannondale is the official Ironman licensee, she was told she had to be on a Cannondale, or not be featured. This whole story is kind of like an iceberg, just a little bit showing on the surface and a lot more beneath it.
