[25.01.2010] GREIPEL WINS HIS SECOND TOUR DOWN UNDER
HTC-Columbia’s Andre Greipel secured his second overall win of the Santos Tour Down Under on Sunday becoming one of only two riders who have won the event more than once. Greipel won the race on his first attempt in 2008, crashed out in the leaders jersey in 2009 and came back in 2010 to win again, claiming 9 stage wins in Adelaide over the three years.
Greipel’s teammates controlled the fast and furious 90 minute circuit race in downtown Adelaide to ensure overall victory.
“I’m really happy to win again here and to take the ProTour lead,” said Greipel. “Of course I would have liked to have won the stage today because the team worked really hard but I am happy with the overall win. I would thank all my fans and all the sponsors, expetially Northwave, for shoes." |
