Did you watch the Tour last year by any chance? Anyway, Greipel should easily win this year most of the times they'll face each other.Afrank said:What have Greipel and Sagan done in this still very young season that tells us they are suddenly on par with Cavendish in sprinting?
I look forward to having this as my signature come Julycineteq said:Did you watch the Tour last year by any chance? Anyway, Greipel should easily win this year most of the times they'll face each other.
Well, I wouldn't mind. That's the only way I'd watch sprint finishes.will10 said:I look forward to having this as my signature come July
I expect Cav with a team around him, even against Greipel's well oiled Lotto train, to dominate the sprints that matter this season.
Which pope?will10 said:Cavendish.
In other news, Pope is Catholic.
I did watch the Tour, and I saw nothing to indicate that Greipel had caught up to Cav in sprinting. Cav didn't have a great team to lead him out. And the only stage Greipel won that Cav also contested, he started his sprint from too far back. The other stages Greipel won Cav wasn't even there. This year Cav will have a dedicated leadout team focused completely on him winning sprints in the Tour, so more often than not I think we'll see him beating Greipel.cineteq said:Did you watch the Tour last year by any chance?

He did indeed. I think will be a close battle this year, but as already said Cavs the greater overall. I was just curious to see if there were anymore sprinters that people thought could really challenge. It does seem like a 3 horse race to me though.spalco said:I'm a big Cavendish fan, but I have to admit, Greipel did look stronger in last year's Tour overall to me, but he had a lot of factors in his favour.
T-A will be the 1st clash this year. Take a wild guess who's gonna have the excuses?Afrank said:This year Cav will have a dedicated leadout team focused completely on him winning sprints in the Tour, so more often than not I think we'll see him beating Greipel.
