Sky's budget is astronomical in fairness. But I agree BMC ought to be have built a more solid looking team given the amount of resources invested and the time they've been around.
Slightly unlucky getting behind TvG who turned out not to be the superstar he fleetingly promised to be. Ditto Phinney. Seems strange they weren't able to coax more wins out of Gilbert.
Evans' win in 2011 and GVA's recent string of Classics is a haul most teams would kill for.
