Tony Martin Bandwagon thread

[Forunculo]

Well that sounds quiet good.
If the break doesn't exceed two weeks Tony will be ready for le Tour.

So Tour dream over

Why so pessemistic?

Why so pessemistic?

I listen his injuries, impossible to recover in two weeks, a month at least and we will see then. I mean it's a hot feature of this Tour if Tony Martin gives a go.

Don't see why it should take 4 weeks.

 

[Machu Picchu]

time will tell but I think he'll make it back in time, perhaps the accident will have steeled him and he'll come back more determined/focused.

Yeah Tony is tough like leather and hard like Krupp Steel

Do you have any idea how much energy injuries like that take out of a man's body?

No, i really don't think it's all that bad.

Well, I wish him all the best, I do kind of like Martin, but I don't have your faith. I think the best he can hope for now is being a contender for the TTs in the Tour and then being 100% at the Olympics. I honestly don't think there's anything in the Tour GC for him this year.

At this point of time, Ullrich was still relaxing on his couch, eating a couple of choko cakes a day

"I am really happy to be able to get back on my bicycle on the road," Martin said. "I pedalled for 30 minutes yesterday on a bike path near home and today I went out again riding my bike for about an hour. Obviously, these aren't training sessions, but just some pedalling to get used to the bicycle and the road again. I am trying to listen to my body and I'm pedalling without taking any type of risk. It's a very pleasant feeling, especially thinking about the fact that a week ago I was lying in a hospital bed."

So all those comments 'No Tour for him, ' four weeks break' were as predicted bit over the top

Hahaha, good one! But Martin ain't no Ullrich!

One does not simply get called Der Kaiser for no reason!

[jens_attacks]

poor guy...
i'm so happy he's fine now and back on the bike

 

[Bavarianrider]

Great! Tony back on his bike!
Le Tour can come!!!

 

[hatcher]

Yeah good to see him back up so quickly.

There is something slightly of The 'Burbs about that picture.

 

[Machu Picchu]

great to see Tony 'the fighter' Martin up and about, lets hope he can start getting some real training in soon.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Tony lost lots of substance, one can clearly see this in this picture.
But it's two months till the Tour starts, this should be enogh.

What "substances" ?

 

[Machu Picchu]

What "substances" ?

Not what your implying lost build/muscle but I'm not so sure, not really been long enough.

 

[canyonball]

Tony Martin will return to racing on the 1st of May at Rund um den Finanzplatz Eschborn-Frankfurt. LINK

 

[Catwhoorg]

That's great news

 

[Bavarianrider]

Tony man of steel

The haters had already celebrated their parties cuase they thought Tony would be out of the Tour.
Now he is back on May 1. That's fantastic

What the hell?!

No cycling fan, certainly not one that's ever ridden a bike, would ever want a rider to be sidelined because of a car crash.

I would call most of Tony Martin's "haters" more "doubters".

I genuinely think that unless he's taken a lot away from his TTing, he isn't going to have a chance in the high mountains. If he's going to start trying to lose weight to climb better, I really doubt it would be during an Olympic year.

 

[greenedge]

Both him and Fabian will probably not dominate the ITT's at the TDF but they shall probably square off at the Olympics which will be good.
