"Seems a bit extreme to give Dani Martínez (far left) a baby for winning the best young rider award." — @Vaughters (far right).

Incredibly motivated, the team set out at a blistering pace, with the newly crowned Colombian national time trial champion, Dani Martinez, showing what his legs are made of, nearly blowing the team apart. “A couple of times I was yelling at Dani to slow down as loud as I could yell, literally I was screaming for him to slow down. I could hear Nate behind Taylor and we were all screaming at him to slow down, but he couldn’t hear us because of the noise from the crowd,” Alex Howes said. “He’s just super strong,” Taylor Phinney added of Martínez. “I told him [Dani] to pull longer and less intense to keep it really regular.”
