heywoodu 13,573 Posted October 12, 2016 #731 Share Posted October 12, 2016 It's a shame the ITT is only a world championships event since 1994, so it's hard to compare the time trialists throughout the years, but it's quite clear that Martin deserves a mention when trying to come up with the 5 (for example) best time trialists ever. If only it was possible to fairly compare riders from 60-70 years ago to those of today, but so far I would probably still go for the one and only Monsieur Chrono as the number one If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

It´s mainly because of his strength and his typical notion of riding which is mainly about power. Also one curiosity, he got this nickname when he was a policeman in Germany before his pro-cycling career. It´s actually funny and nothing extraordinary, because John Degenkolb another great German rider was a cop too and here from velonews Quote The locomotive was Martin, and he had just bolted out of the station. The 28-year-old German is known as “der Panzerwagen,” which literally translates to tank, but just as easily could stand for badass, and he proved yet again he has one of the most potent engines in the bunch.
