PHOTO ESSAY: Tour of Beijing, Martin finishes second

Dan Martin sealed his second place overall in the Tour of Beijing today, ending the five day race just three seconds behind the winner Philippe Gilbert (BMC) and showing again that he has hit a form peak towards the end of the season. Martin’s run of form makes up for what was an at-times frustrating season. He crashed on the final bend of Liege-Bastogne-Liege in April, losing his chance of taking a second straight victory, and also fell on the opening stage of the Giro d’Italia, sustaining a fractured collarbone. He missed the Tour de France but bounced back to take second on a stage and seventh overall in the Vuelta a Espana. Bad luck struck him again in the world road race championships when he was caught up in a crash and delayed, losing his chance. However since then things have gone better for him; he put in a superbly-timed attack to win the Il Lombardia Classic earlier this month, then took that stage win plus second overall in the Tour of Beijing. As a former winner of the Japan Cup, Dan will be one of the top favourites for that season-ending event. Photo credits: Graham Watson

That would be riding a way-too-small bicycle around in the back yard. It was the bike that I got too big for, that’s the first bike I remember having fun on. What got you started into racing? I started riding my school bike on longer rides. My uncle was a director of a firm that makes bicycles. He gave me one and told me to start riding it seriously. He said for fun but then I got into it and it went from there. What is your favorite type of race? I really don’t know — I have a few favorites. Of course I like racing on the track. The shorter track races that are really intense. And on the road I like the really tough races with short, steep climbs and cobblestones. Lasse riding to ...
