Daniel Martinez is looking like a strong candidate to finish on the podium of the 2024 Giro d'Italia. The Colombian of BORA - hansgrohe consolidated his impressive time-trial on stage 7 with 2nd placed finish on stage 8.
"When we got to the last 2km I thought I had a chance, but Pogacar was amazing, he sprinted perfect," Martinez reflected in his post-stage interview. "When they started to move I was focused on Tadej because I wanted the stage, but in the sprint he pushed my legs to my limit. Great work from the team, we'll see next week, tomorrow is easier than today, but we have to stay focused. Take it easy, the hardest part is ahead".
In statements in Spanish picked up by Sebastián Araújo, Martínez exemplified Pogacar's strength and what had been the sprint: "Sprint between the second, third, fourth and fifth because, well, Pogacar did the sprint alone".
