Martin allowed his rainbow stripes today

When Tony Martin raced the team time trial last Tuesday, he did so using a Specialized frame that had rainbow stripes on it. This netted him a fine of 2,000 Swiss Francs as the UCI is protective of the colours that are use for the rainbow jersey.

Even though Martin was a member of the Omega Pharma-Quickstep team that won the inaugural edition of the team time trial at the world championships, no rainbow jersey is awarded for this new category... that's why the fine was issued after stage four.

Today, however, the German used the same bike - and he's allowed to do so as he is the reigning TT world champion.

Sagan 2'13 down on Martin,

Either Martin is in a class of his own out there or we have to wait for Froome and some others to see.

 

Would love to see Impey come close.

 

Me too, but it sounds like only Tuft got Green(edge) light from management to give it a real go. The others to save themselves.
