Tony Martin shattered after Tour de France TT
Tony Martin may not have won the TT at the Tour de France yesterday but it wasn’t for the want of trying.
In the end, the German TT world champion could only manage 5th in Marseille; some 14 seconds down on Maciej Bodnar of Bora-hansgrohe.
But after his ride, in the bowels of the football stadium where the TT started and finished, Martin was clearly showing the effects of riding flat-out for 28 minutes.
The TV cameras also picked up an unpleasant looking stain on his white shorts during his TT.
