The Lampre camp were historically split between supporting Cunego and supporting Simoni.
Hopefully the aftermath of that particular split, has healed and Cunego will get 100% support.

PP : yeah that is an interesting observation. Lampre always seem to be in contention in the GT's - without actually appearing to be dominant in them.

we theorised Simoni was pissed at Cunego because Simoni stopped doping heavily about 02. And he would have won the Giro if not for his heavily doped jnr prince |

I think you underestimate the stress to be at 110% on your doping regime, year in, year out. |

Yup, I think Simoni came the realisation that he was not as competitive as a few of the other guys even at a full regimen, and therefore took a step back. He appears to enjoy riding his bike (witness his new interest in MTBing at a competitive level) and has been doing not half bad (he probably would have won the Giro that Basso dominated if the latter had been caught at that time)...
I don't know, I used to think Simoni shot his mouth off, but I actually like the guy now.
