André Greipel Discussion Thread

[SHAD0W93]

It's embarrassing that a rider of his calibre has a six page thread - He's got an amazing palmares.

I think it’s more that everyone agrees with this post, he isn’t controversial, keeps his head down, and is talked about in other threads. Great, powerful sprinter that would unfortunately get lost in a sprint more times then not. Combine his best attributes with Cavendish and the fusion would be unstoppable.

Getting interview by Danish television.
