After a strong season with 15 victories, Germain sprinter Andre Greipel will lead Lotto Soudal at the Aviva Tour of Britain. He knows this race. Indeed, he has had one previous appearance in Great Britain back in 2010, where he took three wins including the opening and closing stages.
Race director Mick Bennett explained that his presence is a great news for fans. "This is great news for British fans who can look forward to seeing Andre Greipel battling it out in the sprints at the Aviva Tour of Britain. We fondly recall Andre's previous participation in the race, and are delighted that he, and the Lotto-Soudal team are returning to race in Britain. With three or four stages of this year's race likely to be bunch sprints, there is sure to be stiff competition for stage wins that we are sure will make for great racing."
The Belgian team will bet also on Marcel Sieberg, Jens Debusschere, Under-23 Belgian road race champion Sean de Bie, Frederik Frison and Pim Ligthart.
