Main Rivals
Andre Greipel (lotto) - won MSR in 2012 and one of only 3 men to beat Mark in 2012, 2nd MSR 2013.
JJ Rojas (movistar) - the only thing that could stop him is the lack of sprint support
Tyler Farrar (garmin) - won MSR in 2013, but has focused on the early cobbles more than sprints
Matt Goss (greenedge) - beat Cavs in one sprint at the TDF in 2012
Marcel Kittel (1t4i) - fast finish, but lacks the support and experience
Phillipe Gilbert (BMC) - he doesnt stop winning the big races, looking good already
Damiano Cunego (lampre) - won the Vuelta points in 2012, could be a threat
