He certainly has the engine to win it.HelloDolly said:Tony Martin was so strong today .....created and kept the break ot Cancellera & Sagan
Since it was his first time riding the race it looks like he could be one for the future
Injuries and TT riders don't usually dominate in that discipline for a long time, he's still pulling out good results but maybe a change of environment might also help him spark up a little.del1962 said:What is happening with this guy, he is a shadow of his former self?

I like what he did in Paris-Roubaix this year.DanielSong39 said:So Tony Martin started off as an all-around rider, a possible future GC contender.
Then he became a TT specialist.
Looks like it's time for another makeover. If so, what do you see in his future? Grand Tour Domestique? 1-day classics rider? 1-day classics domestique? Retirement? Join Sky and win the Tour de France by more than 3 minutes?

Alpecin coming on board as a sponsor meant that Katusha was looking for a name German rider and Martin really was the only one left on the market, I remember reading somewhere a couple of weeks back that they were interested in himjmdirt said:http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tony-martin-signs-for-team-katusha/
I've been a little out of touch lately but did I miss something? I don't remember any hints about this move. He's been a great team player, but maybe he'll be able to kick start his own results with the move.
