I kind of like Greipel too, and agree he's a very good sprinter; but he's failed at converting his speed into wins too many times to just be unlucky imo. ;)

His only weakness is his positioning. And that still happens too often.
Sadly it was most obvious in magic moments, like at the worlds and some TdF stages.
It is hard to beat him when it comes to pure topspeed. Because he is a Gorilla.
Often too nice Gorilla.
Cav is just an island-monkey, but worldchampion anyway.
He has perhaps 1-2 km/h lower topspeed, but excellent positioning, timing and some good portion of anger.
Still the better package.

At least Andre blames himself for hesitaing a second too long. Renshaw on the other hand blames Spidertech entirely. Naturally, everyone should get out of the lead-out man's way. Show some respect. Racing is when you let superior riders beat you because they say they are superior.
+1

He tried to headbutt them out of his way, didn't work, so now it's about respect :)
