He's won a stage at every GT he's ridden I believe. Which is an amazing record.
Might not be the case, but this is the 13th consecutive GT he's started that he's won a stage in. Which is very impressive.

Greipel did win at least 1 stage in every GT he's ridden, he confirmed in yesterday's Vive Le Velo TdF talkshow. Great guy.
Hissy fit from Kittel, shame. The first flat tube for EQS, what a moment... Coquard out with a mechanical too but he took it with more class.
Timo Roosen crashed at the front of the 'train' resulting in a flat for Lotto Jumbo's sprinter Dylan Groenewegen in the last couple of km's. Too bad he couldn't try to improve on his TdF best which was 4th.
Sagan's acceleration was incredible! His back wheel slipped 2 or 3 times, really wonder if he'd have won it by an inch when it had gripped. Maybe the pedestrian crossings in Qatar are less greasy and he'll (not really) surprise us... ;-)
PS Even more love for the man: he didn't even mention his own disappointing slipping/sprinting result when asked after the finish, just said he was happy for Greipel to get the win and that he deserved it. Peter for president!

Six years in a row he's won a stage at the Tour.
