Last updated : 29 June 2012 By Kev Monks

Nicholas Roche is proud that he will be joined by his cousin Garmin's Danny Martin in the Tour De France which starts today in Liege and hopes they both can do Ireland proud.

The 27 year old AG2R rider said at his team's press conference to Covsupport News Service: "For the first three years, I was the only Irishman. "I thought that Danny was going to make it last year but it was not to be.

"I hope we can get some great results in the tour and both do our country proud."
