Woods; “I dunno, man, I’m not sure it’s for us…”
Martin; “Of course it’s for us, Tadej’s too bloody young to drink it himself!”

This is a secret covert message to his teammate Froomey... i.e. "you feel so great when you retire in good shape without looking like a washed-up fool".

Or not. But in any case, Martin had a great career & he's quitting the sport after a season in which he still won a GT stage. He's still at a good level.

Jeez. Retired father of twins in “I’m not putting on the dad-bod weight. And have time to visit water parks” flex.

I just hope that prudhomme finally, after this awesome tour, already understand how to do a interesting route. More altitude, with more steep climbs, more medium mountains stages, and some long itts.

Some things that work and i'd love to see again at the tour.

Colombiere/romme
Cime de la bonette
Iseran

Col de la tougnéte! But i think col de la loze will be ate the tour 2023.

Col du granon was absolutely unbeliavable, i hope they comeback in 2024 or 2025.

Sure, but what does that have to do with Dan Martin?

Some more or less good points but this rethoric "I was the last of a dying breed" stinks.

Racing last few years has been much better than previously which actually might be the result of breakthroughs at younger age, not only from Pogacar, so I don’t quite buy his argument.
