A top five in the Tour brings a lot of World Tour points, more than Greipel will get for winning a few stages, so you can see why they keep him. The thing I find curious about him is that, at 31, he still doesn't seem to know how good shape he is in. I read an interview with him before the Dauphine, when Lotto were making noises about him missing the Tour if his form wasn't there, and he said he thought his form was okay but the race would tell him either way. You would have thought, in this age of ever more scientific preparation, that he'd know his numbers.
