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

Paranoid fanboy.

I had a fool crash (nothing broken) 2 weeks ago and I can not train yet. This guy crush his head and will race next week??

Either the car crash thing was to avoid doping tests so he can get clean, or this guy is made of steel to take a car hit as he did, then be back racing in a few weeks.

Hmmm....

Great ride from Tony today. Very impressive.

 

[The Hitch]

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.
.

Comically, this has never even been edited by the mods, even though they later decided that making bad jokes about fans delaying the peloton, was a banable offense (without warning, and its not in the rules either).

I hope he crashes and breaks a few bones so he'll be out for a year or two.

Tony has tested the Olympic TT course and he says he likes it a lot.
Not technical, wide roads, few corners, long straits.

if both are healthy and mentally good, there's no way tony will beat canc without 3weaks of heavy racing before it, like at le tour. canc is simply much stronger on the flat, better handling, much more endurance and stamina.

i hate canc. he is my favorite rider but he could be some much better (palavers wise) if he had a decent brain.

 

[jens_attacks]

wiggins will put minutes on both of them anyway.

We finally agree on something.

First victory of the year

completely destroyed them.chapeau!

 

[Tony Martin brute hero]

Will have to become stronger towards the Olympics, wasn't that good at all today, was the big favourite but failed. I think Cance and Wiggins will get motivated seeing this looking at the games

Look at the date of the post-it's 26th of May. He won Tour of Belgium ITT that day.

By the way, Tony had problems with his position yesterday. He had no grip on the saddle. This is due to the fact, that because of a rule change, Tony can't ride his usual saddle configuration anymore. He hasn't yet worked out a new optimal solution. But Tony says they work on it and will be ready till the Tour starts.

These UCI "rules" are generally ****ing ridiculous.

That's odd, the only change in saddle position this year is giving more allowance on how level the saddle is (I think it's +/- 3.5 degrees now), so what has Tony had to change?

Tony used sandpaper to to prepare the saddle for a better grip level. For some funny reason the UCI has banned this method of working on the saddle.
(AT least that's what German media wrote)

Everyone is still using grip tape on saddles.
