These days, it's increasingly difficult to tell when one season ends and the next one begins. On Thursday morning, Guillaume Martin (Cofidis) was at the Palais des Congrès in Paris for the 2022 Tour de France presentation, casting an eye forward to the roads he will face next July.

On Sunday afternoon, he was back in 2021, squaring off his long campaign with a combative display at the Veneto Classic, where he eventually placed eighth in a race won by Samuele Battistella (Astana-Premier Tech).
