Tony Martin of Germany won the time trial competition of world cycling championship in Italy. Martin covered the 57.2 km route from Montecatini Terme to Florence in l hour 5 minutes, 36.65 seconds. Wiggins of UK was behind 46.09 while Fabian Cancellara 48.34.
Cancellara won the event in a record of 4 wins: 06, 07, 09 and 10. Michael Roger of Australia won the event 3x 2003-2005.
Martin has now won the 9 out of 12 Time Trial competition this year, including Tour de France.
They say winning the Time Trial is a sign of true bike champion. There are no tactics and strategies, no drafting, no slingshot sprint, no team mates working hard for you covering you with his draft, or tiring the opponent - it is only you and time, the road and the wind.
Is Tony Martin the true cycling champ this year?
