Dan Martin makes Tour de France podium with 'super combative' prize
UAE Team Emirates rider says back injury really hamp🌄ered him in the Alps





168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dan Martin (UAE Team Emirates) may not have made the top three in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France’s overall classification bu🗹t the Irishman꧂ will stand on the podium in Paris after he was awarded the 'Super Combative' prize. He took the honour following a mixture of public and jury voting, beating Lawson Craddock, Alejandro Valverde, Julian Alaphilippe and several others.
Martin wasn’t aware of the news when he crossed the line in Saturday's penultimate-stage time trial and looked shocked when he was told he would have a trip to the rostrum ✅in Paris.
He said that his aggr🌳essive approach 🦩was not an effort to provide entertainment, but the prize meant a lot to him all the same.
"I don’t really race to make the race entertaining, I always try to calculate when to attack and try to make it count. I’m racing to win, but that’s incredible," Martin said after the stage. "I’m not sure that anyone has won it without winning it on a single day but I just try my best every day.
"I think you see when we stopped to get rid of the pepper spray the other day, you see me, Tom [Dumoulin], [Primoz] Roglic and Geraint [Thomas] just stood there having a chat. It shows the mutual respect that we have for each other. For a time yesterday, we were all completely empty b𓆉ut we were trying to attack the🍬 hell out of each other. It made for great racing but it’s also great to be a part of the race.”

Born in Ireland to a cycling family and later moved to the Isle of Man, so there was no surprise when I got into the sport. Studied sports journalism at u✅niversity before going on to do a Masters in sports broadcast. After university I spent three months interning at Eurosport, where I covered the Tour de France. In 2012 I started at Procycling Magazine, before becoming the deputy editor of Procycling Week. I then joined Cyclingnews, in December 2013.
