Decisions were made, Pinktay. We opted for a squad that's strong in the mountains and in the hills, and decided to focus us on those races only, therefore it was in Greipel's best interest to go to a team where they can concentrate them on him. We couldn't give him the train and the attention he deserves. |

@IanButler: Fair enough. I suppose Gilbert is better in the hills than Greipel is in sprints |

The News
We didn't have the best Tour Down Under with no top 10. We are hoping to do a lot better in Paris Nice and Tirreno Adriatico.
