Froome is favourite for Olympic Games time trial, says Tony Martin

Tony Martin has named reigning Tour de France champion Chris Froome as his favourite for this summer’s Olympic Games time trial. Martin and Froome were on the podium in London four years ago with the German taking silver ahead of Froome’s bronze. Bradley Wiggins won the event.

Born in Ireland to a cycling family and later moved to the Isle of Man, so there was no surprise when I got into the sport. Studied sports journalism at university before going on to do a Masters in sports broadcast. After university I spent three months interning at Eurosport, where I covered the Tour de France. In 2012 I started at Procycling Magazine, before becoming the deputy editor of Procycling Week. I then joined Cyclingnews, in December 2013.
