Race leader Greipel to work for Gallopin

He wears the leader's jersey on stage 2 of the Tour of Britain, but Andre Greipel is set to ride in support of Lotto Soudal teammate Tony Gallopin on the key stage from Carlisle to Kendal.

"We have to see today because it's never easy to control the bunch with just six guys. We'll see which teams take the responsibility," Greipel told Cyclingnews.

Lotto Soudal came into the race with a number of objectives and got off to the perfect start as Greipel won stage 1 and pulled on the leader's jersey. However, with teams limited to six riders the German will now happily move into a support role, although he will have further chances later in the week.

"When you see the finish, on paper it's one that's perfect for Tony. We want to try and keep the bunch together for that but it's not going to be easy."
