I was a skeptic of this effort and said so here a while back, so I gotta give them kudos. While I’m a bit put-off by the Cervelo worship here, I’ve always known they are smart, good guys, make great products. and support those products. Still, I wondered if much of their success wasn’t due to the good fortune of striking a deal with team headed by a relatively new DS, who would turn out to be a great DS.
Then, when they didn’t reach a new deal with Riis, I thought who do these guys think they are? They are a relatively young bike company and they think they can start their own team and suddenly be a protour team?
Well, props to Cervelo as their team has been a force all spring long. Indeed, they’ve been one of the top few team so far this season. Wow.
