I thought Tony Martin was dead. :confused: wiki shows him to be 96 years old. :eek:

Nah, we recycled him and gave him a total makeover. Titanium alloy bones, bionic muscles, artificial lungs and heart. We can run him on normal food, hydrogen, or an acetone/ethanol/nitro mix. Then we pulled a skin over the whole thing, sew it up and programmed simple cycling tactics into his biocomputer brain. Aldag has the remote override so he looks credible during normal stages. :rolleyes:

That has to be one with a lot of ITT and no steep mountains. On a mountaintop finish like Alpe d'Huez or Joux Plane similar, he will lose too much time.
I'm impressed by him also. But that is mostly as a time-trialist.

Martin surprised me today. It wasn't a steep mountain, but it looks like I'll have to eat my words on this.
