Tony Martin

Defending time trial world champion, Tony Martin believes Bradley Wiggins is disadvantaged coming from Tour of Britain to race the World Championships. Wiggins arrived in Florence yesterday, which is too late according to the German.

"I was really wondering about Bradley," Martin said to a small group of journalists at the German's hotel. "He rode the whole Tour of Britain until Sunday. If he comes to the race in top-form on Wednesday, Chapeau! That is not an easy thing to do."
