Apparently Rui Costa always wins the Tour de Suisse

June 23, 2014 · by Alex · in Stage races

The Tour de Suisse is not the easiest race to follow. With two time trials before any of the proper mountain stages, you can’t be totally sure who’s really in contention until it’s basically over….

Benat Intxausti wins the race that no-one’s all that bothered about winning really

October 16, 2013 · by Alex · in Stage races

I think I’ve said before that cycling isn’t about winning. It’s about losing. It’s about losing with panache. Tony Martin lost stage six of the Vuelta in the absolute finest style. When seventh outranks first…

Tony Martin in flat time trials

July 10, 2013 · by Alex · in Tour de France

Tony Martin didn’t actually win by as great a margin as might have been expected. But he did win. Even without any back skin, he’s the strongest time trialist in this race. The majority of…

Dan Martin is no relation to Tony Martin

April 22, 2013 · by Alex · in Classics and day races

Despite their seemingly identical fear of surnames, Dan Martin and Tony Martin are not related. Time trialist, Tony Martin, is fully German, while 2013 Liege-Bastogne-Liege winner, Dan Martin, is fairly Irish. Dan was born in…
