In our last installment of the "OPQS Best Moments 2013" series, we remember the dominating third straight UCI World Time Trial Championship for chronoman extraordinaire Tony Martin.
The Panzerwagen finished with a time of 1:05:36.65 on the 57.2km course. Tony's speed was so impressive it would have ranked highly in the TTT discipline on the same course.
Tony's time gap to all riders increased with each passing checkpoint. He averaged 52.967 km/h and won by an impressive 46.09 seconds over Bradley Wiggins and Fabian Cancellara.
"It was the opposite of our TTT Championship — instead of taking risks, I was able to almost celebrate in the final kilometers," Martin said. "My race was perfect from start to finish, and that is what gave me such a clear victory. I still think it was the highlight of my season, despite so many great time trial victories. I am really excited for 2014 and I am preparing for it with great morale. I can look back to my third TT Championship as maybe my biggest motivation."
