He's won a couple of sprints this year. We'd see where he stands against the best guys. I'm not saying he'd win, I think it's unlikely he would.

This isn't shit small race when Cav is here
Nah, well this sprinter line up is quite impressive so a win here is rather nice tbh  When Greipel won before this month, sprinter line up was very weak. Here, it's different

You completely misunterstood me. I didn't question his sprint abilities at all, it's just that his name is Degenkolb, not Dengelkolb

Yes wonder if he got confused and thought Renshaw was leading him out and there was 500m to go given his claims of misjudging the finish

Cav's train wasn't too well, supposedly.
Still nice win by the German.

Indeed , get beat by Cavendish who gets himself beaten. I think Greipel is very disappointed of himself.

Greipel has got to start being more aggressive in the sprint. Not in a dangerous way, but this clearly isn't working for him.

Bias to Sky and Cav acknowledged up front but...
...shaping up nicely for competition at the Tour, especially given the possible number of bunch sprints. I'm sure it's not intentional, but other sprinters beating Cav now may help Sky considerably in the flat stages with other teams much more likely to chase.

You do have to wonder about the psychological effect that being beaten by Guardini at the Giro had on him, but then he always seems to bounce back. Don't be surprised if he's better at the Tour, and then in the Olympic Road Race.
