Dont understand why Greipel is riding on the front. I know Benoot and Wellens are better riders for this course, but if he is still there with 20 k to go ( and looking good) he should be saving himself. He could be used for tactical purposes for Wellens and Benoot and is obviously a favourite in the sprint if he survives.

I hear you but I think Greipel enjoys paying back the work the team does for him throughout the year.
