Martin really hasn't had the legs since week 1 but he's been doing his best Vino impression on this Tour.
Martin came in too hot. I don't blame him for going hard in the Dauphine -- French team, French race etc -- but he should have saved his energy for the 3rd week rather than trying to drop the two strongest guys in the Pyrenees. He also burned a lot of matches in the La Rochelle stage after he crashed trying to chase back on in cross winds. Talented rider and a top 10 climber but made a few mistakes. With experience I think he could crack the Top 5 in a GT.
