I hope he is ok. I'm sure he wants to ride for the win in the Omloop again.

I predicted Greipel would challenge Cav in the smaller races (normally that wouldn't be a prediction worth saying, but this year Cav looks on form for even the smaller races).

Andre Greipel is this year's Theo Bos.

 

[Machu Picchu]

So, looks like it was a nice solo breakaway by Greipel!

 

[Kwibus]

Andre Greipel is this year's Theo Bos.

If you mean because Bos also won the first stage then yes ,but if you mean because Greipel shows good early form like Bos last year and will fade away just like Bos then I highly doubt it.

 

[Boardslide]

Top 5

Greipel
Galimzyanov
Farrar
Kittel

I think he's capable of more. I can see him at the podium of the Ronde. Well, last year's edition at least. Don't really know how he'll handle the new finale.

If you mean because Bos also won the first stage then yes ,but if you mean because Greipel shows good early form like Bos last year and will fade away just like Bos then I highly doubt it.

Agreed, I expect a lot more from Greipel this year now he's free from the Gilbert factor.
