ToB: Columbia Sweep!

Greipel takes stage. Albasini seals overall title. Andre Greipel took his third stage of the race, and Michael Albasini won the entire event. I'd say Saturday was a good day for HTC Columbia. It was essentially a victory lap into London for Albasini, who made his winning moves early in the race with great performances on stages 2 and 3. He just settled into his groove for the rest of the week and executed textbook defense of his lead. It wasn't so much of a victory lap for Greipel, but he almost made it look like one. The young German sprinter who will be leaving HTC at the end of the year easily took the final sprint, beating Lucas Heado and Roger Hammond to the line.
