When you watch Tony Martin (Etixx Quickstep) in an individual time trial, you know you will watch him catch rider after rider that have started ahead of him. The current German National Time Trial Champion and three time World Time Trial Champion did not disappoint again today, even with the eight kilometers of pure uphill course climbing the Col d'Eze just outside of the city of Nice. Martin is catching the second man ahead of him in the start time list on his way to posting yet another new best time. However, there are some very strong men with quite a bit riding on their finishing times yet to roll down the start ramp.
