Re: Re:
He has been racking up a lot of second places, but that's a natural result of being the no 2 puncheur in the world in a period when the no 1 is a Valverde who apparently found the fountain of youth. As a guy who has always been known as a "win or last" kind of rider, I'm sure he does find his recent turn towards endless minor placings somewhat irritating. This year he hasn't finished a stage race out of the top 6, is having his best ever cq performance and only has one win.
I don't think being with Cannondale would have helped though.
Anderis said:Dan Martin's biggest win since he left Cannondale is a Volta a Catalunya stage. Perhaps a tad frustrating for a man who earlier won 2 monuments, 2 GT stages and 2 one-week WT races overall. Especially when his form does seem good.Zinoviev Letter said:Dan Martin a bit disgruntled with a reporter apparently. It seems he's more annoyed about coming 2nd again than he is pleased at dropping Froome etc.
