Tony Martin

Uran is 34 seconds behind Froome ATM. An excellent TTT would put him in yellow. Don't think they can be that much better than Sky or BMC without Tony though, but who knows?

Gutted for Tony, at least he got his two days in yellow. He deserved even more.

Lefevere: It's very sad. But Tony was still smiling. He said: "OK I spent two days in the yellow jersey, it was a dream when I was a kid. And I got it. I cannot be too sad".

I don't think Etixx could beat Sky by 34 seconds even with Tony onboard. There's quite a bit of a climb at the end of the stage and Etixx roster seems to be less suited to ride this final climb in good pace than some other teams we have out there, major GC teams especially.

Great quote!! Although technically it was three days, as he got to put it on after stage 4.

A most deserving wearer of yellow and I'm even happier that he got to wear it having seen his appreciation in the aftermath.

Tony Martin in yellow. Great podium photo on CN front page but.... well, shouldn't he get back to fronting Franz Ferdinand?
