Who will be king of the sprinting jungle in 2014?

    Cav has been the main man for years, but last year we saw a battle royale at the Tour de France between him and the German duo of Marcel Kittel and Andre Greipel, with Kittel coming out on top.

    Kittel’s Argos Shimano lead-out got the job done beautifully and Kittel’s finishing speed was truly impressive.

    Greipel’s top end speed has always looked the quickest of anyones, but he seems to struggle to adapt when his lead-out doesn’t deliver him to the perfect position…

    …and Cav is Cav – he’ll be chomping at the bit to prove the doubters wrong and show he’s still the top dog in 2014.

    So…whose year is it going to be?

    I’d go along with that Gizmo.
    I’d go along with that Gizmo. The other teams are sure to put plenty of effort into figuring out what Kittels lead-out was doing so well, and to neutralize it. Cav’s pathological will to win will surely kick in this year…and he’s always pretty much had the beating of Greipel.

    I reckon this will be Cav’s
    I reckon this will be Cav’s last “great” year, Kittel will have a difficult second album.

    After this year though, Kittel is going to be awesome.

    Cavs got a good team around
    Cavs got a good team around him and is certainly poised for form. I know, I raced him at Christmas and he’s certainly looking that way!

    My votes with Bronzini, though. đŸ™‚

    OPQS have rather been buying
    OPQS have rather been buying Cav a better sprint train, interesting to see how well it gels.

    Greipel is the oldest of the trio- potentially at the end of his peak years- whilst Kittel is scarily probably at the start of his peak prowess.

    Any outsiders?
