Kruopis honing sprint form at Tour de Langkawi

Two podium places from three bunch sprints is an encouraging sign for Aidis Kruopis who is the protected rider for Orica GreenEdge on the flat stages at Tour de Langkawi. Kruopis is one of the squad's budding up-and-coming sprinters alongside Leigh Howard and former under-23 world road race champion Michael Matthews but the Lithuanian is content to slowly develop his craft.
