You're correct. Let me rephrase. Bruyneel has been very successful in grand tours with several leaders. Same people involved, Contador, Leipheimer, Kloden. Two different teams. And, in fact, Astana has been very successful with multiple team leaders prior to Bruyneel. Vinokourev won the Vuelta in 2006 and Kaschechkin was third. The point I'm making is still the same. Having multiple leaders & doing it successfully is nothing new for the team, riders, nor management.
