Velonation, Velonation, 8 Juli 2013
Scooping victory fifty years after Shay Elliott triumphed into Roubaix, and becoming only the fifth Irishman to win a stage of the Tour de France, Dan Martin has said that he will pause and reflect on his victory before identifying his next goals for the race. “I am not really thinking about it yet. It is just a case of getting up north and having a day off,” he told VeloNation Sunday, speaking of his breakthrough Tour performance, Monday’s rest day, and what his next target will be. “I think everybody is very tired after the last couple of days. It has been so hot this first week. I think you saw today there is a lot of fatigue in the peloton. We wanted to put on a show, and Garmin-Sharp did.”

Cyclism'Actu, Julie Dremiere, 21 April 2013
Roman Kreuziger, Dani Moreno, Daniel Martin... Tous étaient outsiders sur les Ardennaises, et ont réalisé l'exploit de voler la victoire aux favoris. Le dernier cité en rêvait sans trop y croire, mais il l'a fait, il a remporté ce dimanche Liège-Bastogne-Liège, succédant ainsi à Iglinskiy. Purito a bien tenté de le lâcher dans le final, mais l'Irlandais était trop fort. Si le coureur de la Garmin ne peut toujours pas y croire, il n'en oublie pas de remercier son coéquipier, Ryder Hesjedal, auteur d'une formidable course, et qui l'a protégé jusqu'au bout, faisant tout le travail à l'avant. A 26 ans, Martin remporte là la plus belle victoire de sa carrière et revient pour Cyclism'Actu sur cette journée riche en émotions.
