Tony Martin increases his advantage to 23'' at 2nd check over Gustav Larsson who was fastest there until then.
Just spotted it - go Tony! No idea how it'll hold up to the later riders but hopefully there or thereabouts given the show of defiance. |

Don't think he will win unless changeable conditions come into play. But an impressive ride considering his injuries - still gives him hope for the Olympics

Doubt it's gonna be enough. In Belgium Martin beat him with about the same time over half the distance. And Westra has some injuries as well, so I'd guess Cancellara and Wiggins will blow this time out of the water.

Still a great effort by Martin and you never know what the weather will do, no matter what the forecast says.

David Millar said in his post stage interview that the stage is much harder than it looks and tips Wiggins or Froome for the win instead of Cancellara interesting |

Indeed. He had a flat tyre at 5km today. Really sucks and makes his time even better. He probably lost 30s due to this, so might be interesting to see his time against Wiggins, Froome and Cance. |

Martin is having rotten luck so far this Tour

Voigt just 9 secs down at the first checkpoint - clearly not content with attacking for half the stage yesterday  |

Voigt is going hard only 13 secs behind Tony. I can imagine Jens throwing that bike left and right 
Voigt finished +28 secs behind Tony
