Greipel v Cavendish

[As Easy As Riding A Bike]

Is there anybody in Omega Pharma Lotto to give him a good lead out?

Van Avermaet is a good sprinter in his own right (won the points classification in the 2008 Vuelta, but has gone off the boil a bit since then). Don't know if he is staying with Omega though.

Nobody can beat Cav when Cav is on form...that includes the world's top sprinters so why 2nd rate Greipel thinks he could I have no idea!

2nd rate?

2nd rate?

Fair point...


...3rd rate

Lotto never managed to put a team together for either Robbie McEwen or Cadel Evans so I don't see why they would start with Greipel.

Doesn't matter anyway. Greipel isn't in the same class as Cavendish.
