What happened to this guy on stage 1 anyone know is he sick? I had him on my fantasy team :(
The classic mistake. Too early in form during the Dauphiné. As a result, on certain days he performed as well as or even better as an all-rounder than some top riders. But that was weeks ago.... His form will drop, and the others have gotten better.
 
Hh if thats the case thats really bad for my fantasy team :( I was still properly coping that he wanted to loose time to get in breaks later / was a little ill. Oh well.
I think it's a combination of two reasons. Not good enough and dropped. But then choosing to lose enough time allowing to go in a break later. Yesterday, a lot of strong riders (also Martinez) deliberally lost (tens of) minutes, after being dropped.
