Tony Martin wants to win today’s time trial at the Tour de France and isn’t about to leave anything to chance. He has even figured out a way to squeeze in an additional test ride of the 54 km course. He has a relatively late start time, and that gives him the chance to ride the course.
“I will use the time slot between the advertising caravan and the first starter,” he said on his website.“Logistically that is not so easy. I will have to get right back into the car and go back, but I am willing to do that, in order to get another go at the course.”
