Etixx Quick Step rider Tony Martin took his sixth victory in the German National Time Trial Championships.
Martin completed the 41km course in Streudorf in 49.14 to finish 1.39 ahead of Movistar's Jasha Sütterlin and said: “I’m happy about this win, because it’s never easy to do it when everybody is expecting it. The parcours wasn’t totally flat, had a few hills and some tricky corners, which you had to be careful not to overcook. Considering these and the hot temperatures, it wasn’t easy to find my rhythm, so that’s why I’m even more satisfied about this victory, which I see as a good test ahead the Tour de France and Olympic Games.
“Winning the sixth title and finally breaking the ice in 2016 was very important.”

It was a hard course with a few small climbs and false flat sections where it was important to speed up. Actually, I’m quite surprised with the rhythm I managed to keep after a few weeks without competing, and this means I’ve recovered well from the Giro d’Italia."
