Greipel lays claim to German team leadership for Worlds
Sprinter unwilling to share captain's seat wi🧸👍th Kittel




Andre Greipel has laid his claim to be captain of the German team in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:UCI Road Worlds Championship r🎀oad race in Qatar in Oct𒀰ober. "I had a good season and would not accept being put in second place."
Greipel told the dpa news agency he would not be willing to share leadership with fellow German sprinter 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marcel Kittel on a course that will favour the hiꩵgh speed sprinters. "it would be counter-productive to go there with two ca🌜ptains," he said.
"It is a difficult situation for Marcel and me. Neither of us has any information from the BDR (Germanꦗ Federation). The course in Qatar is good for both of us, but it is not to be underestimated: It will be about 40 degrees, strong wind and 260 kilometers."
The two sprinters are relatively even this year. Kittel has won 11 races, including a stage at the Tour de Fಌrance and two stages in the Giro d’Italia. Greipel has nine wins, three at the Giro and the closin🌸g stage of the Tour.
𒈔The German federation is expected to decide on its team after the Hamburg Cyclassics race this coming weekend. Greipel won that race in 2015.
