Tony Martin and GC

[maltiv]

Aren't there like 5 mountaintop finishes at Dauphine this year? No way Tony Martin can win there.

He'll have to work as hard as HTC need him to give Cav the best chance possible. If that's not at all, great, if that's working like a dog, then he'll need to do that. Which is absolutely right, given Cav comes with a guarantee of multiple stage wins and Tony is totally unproven at GC over 3 weeks, especially with as little TT action as this 3 weeks.

It doesn't matter what happens he'll be working for Cav. He could be in the yellow jersey in the middle of week 3 and they'll still have him in the leadout train if they sniff a flat finish.

Tony has confirmed that he will do the Dauphine in order to prepare for the Tour.
I think it's a msart move. Ove rthe course of the last 10 years it seems that the Dauphine is better then doing the Tour de Suisse

Plus the TT in the Dauphine is exactly the same one being used for the TDF and that will obviously be one of the stages he will be targetting in July. Probably a good race for him as preparation.
