Devil's advocate here, but as I understand it, Gran Fondos are races. Mass participation, mass start, everyone head to head, point to point. Fast at the front, much slower at the back. Not dissimilar to your local half marathon or something. Tend to be won by ex pros. I'm not defending the guy on anything else though.
