Dan Martin seems pretty pleased with his own performance yesterday and with that of the team, but rues not finishing the job and winning Flèche Wallonne.
Here's a short post-race interview Garmin-Sharp has put out with their star turn Dan Martin after his second-place ride at Flèche Wallonne in Belgium yesterday, Wednesday.
All in all he seems pretty content with the outcome, though can't help but speak of what might have been.
With a strong team around him and especially team mate Tom Jelte Slagter finishing in 5th, Martin and the Garmin-Sharp crew go into Sunday's Liège–Bastogne–Liège in very good shape as the Irish climber aims to defend the title he blasted to 12 months ago.
