Quote from VeloNews

"Simoni and Cunego have often clashed on Lampre and the former incarnation of the team, Saeco. Simoni, who was already rumored to be in negotiations with Domina Vacanze for the upcoming season, criticized the work of his team during the Giro, above all Cunego, who he said let him down.

"Cunego responded to the charge by insisting the team fully supported Simoni.

""The team did everything we could to help Simoni. What else could we do? Push him?" Cunego said in La Gazzetta dello Sport. "For me, the Giro was very difficult, more so because of all the hard climbs, the difficulty of the stages and the psychological situation I found myself in. I carried a huge pressure and because of this it was hard to do well. When you're 23 years old, that's hard to carry." "
