Interesting facts making for an interesting read. I expected the PT to have a monopoly on the best riders, but was mildy surprised by the numbers - 26/4 for climbers, 16/4 for hilly men, 18/2 TTers.

He's saying that there's only one team who has three riders with an AVG of 79 or more - and that's his own team, Festina.
He then goes on to say that of all riders with 79 AVG or above, just two of those are in the Continental Tour: Valverde (Proximus) and Pozzovivo (Vespa)
