He joined a team with GC ambitions, so he only gets a couple of riders to help him. Unfortunately, he's a power sprinter so he needs a good leadout to put him on the front with 250 metres to go. That's hard with just two helpers.
Yeah, a shame missing him being up there. He's not even 8th or so, but absolutely nowhere.
Not sure how greipel was relegated, gavira was out of order and should be going home - if he were sagan in 2017 - UCI comms are a joke.
