After a mountain stage to Mont Ventoux and an individual time trial yesterday, the sprinters will get a new chance at the Tour de France. Can André Greipel win on his birthday?
His lead-out man Marcel Sieberg gives his preview.
“There was a lot of happiness in the team after the victory of Thomas De Gendt. Of course that doesn’t change the fact that we came to the Tour to win a stage with André and we’ll keep working for that, even though there are not so many chances left. We hope there will be a sprint today, and on the Champs Elysées. That will normally be the case as well. The finish in Bern on Wednesday is probably too hard.
"It was a difficult first Tour half for André. He wasn’t able to show what he had hoped for and that made him feel uncomfortable. Luckily he could contribute to the stage win of Thomas on Thursday. That pleased him of course and has boosted his confidence.”
