Second overall last year, Tony Martin topped the podium in the Volta ao Algarve on the back of a time trial performance which fully underlined his status as current world champion.
As he did in winning the 2011 edition, the German TT specialist snatched the overall victory in the final day TT. He dominated today’s concluding 34.8 kilometre race against the clock, covering the distance between Castro Marim and Tavira a full one minute and seven seconds faster than his Omega Pharma Quick Step team-mate Michal Kwiatkowski.
RadioShack Leopard rider Jesse Sergent was a further eight seconds back in third place, while the overnight race leader Sergio Luis Henao (Sky) struggled to limit his losses.
The Colombian rider was fourteenth, three minutes fifteen seconds back, and slipped to twelfth in the final general classification.
Martin did the opposite, jumping from eleventh overall, 28 seconds down, to the top of the final podium.
“I am really happy,” he smiled afterwards. “I was really looking to have a good day, and I had a good feeling immediately this morning during the reconnaissance. The parcours was really hard, with a lot of technical parts and little climbs where it was necessary to relaunch the action every time. Fortunately, it didn't rain during the TT. It rained a little bit before, but it stopped before so we had good conditions on the course during the TT.
“I really pushed a lot, and everything was perfect. There was a perfect approach to the race, and the result was because of all of these things.”
Kwiatkowski also did the reconnaissance this morning with Martin and said afterwards that he always learns from the more experienced rider in those circumstances. He was very satisfied with the result.
“We did a great recon this morning with Tony and with him there is always something I can learn,” he said. “Today I liked this kind iof parcours. It was not one for the big gear — it was a bit more technical with a lot of shifting.
“I am very happy about the entire week, even on the climb yesterday. I saw the job I did in the last month to improve on the climbs pay off. I had good results at this race and I am happy about it.”
He finished 58 seconds behind his team-mate in the overall standings, while Lieuwe Westra (Vacansoleil DCM), who was fourth in the TT, was a further one second back in the GC and completed the podium.
Denis Menchov (Katusha) and local favourite Rui Costa (Movistar) were fourth and fifth overall.
Over the past two seasons Martin has developed into the best time trial rider in the world, taking over in that regard from Fabian Cancellara. The two are likely to clash this year in several events, but the Swiss competitor has said that he is unlikely to focus as much as he used to on races against the clock.
He’s said that other types of races such as the Classics will occupy the bulk of his attention. However Martin’s strength may also be a factor in his decision, with Cancellara realising that it would take a lot of time and focus to try to beat his rival.
Martin enjoys winning time trials, but is also a very good GC rider in shorter stage races. He isn’t a specialist climber, but can rider well there when in strong form. “I also think I built my victory in the GC yesterday on the climb,” he said, referring to the Alto do Malhao, yesterday’s summit finish, where he was eighteen seconds behind Henao in eleventh place.
“My condition is better than last year at this moment. I knew it was possible to not lose a lot of time from the best climbers, and my team and I made sure of it. Today I was really motivated to go for the GC. I already won this race in 2011. I won the TT and the GC. I have to say this kind of race, with an uphill finish, a TT, and sprint stages in the beginning is perfect for me. It's the kind of race I like and I am always looking for.”
