Spain's Joaquim Rodríguez was second in the 261.5km hilly one-day race, with Spain's Alejandro Valverde in third. After a late attack by Rodríguez on the final ascent, Martin caught the Spaniard then broke away with 400 metres to go for a lone win. Martin is the second Irishman, after Sean Kelly in the 1980s, to win the race. The first breakaway came when Lotto Belisol's Bart De Clercq opened up a lead of 14 minutes alongside Vincent Jérôme (Europcar), Jonathan Fumeaux and Pirmin Lang (both IAM Cycling), Frederik Veuchelen (Vacansoleil-DCM) and Sander Armée (Topsport Vlaanderen-Mercator). However, after the group hit the climbs towards the end of the race, they were hauled back with just under 40km to go. A succession of riders attempted to break clear with Garmin Sharp's Ryder Hesjedal gaining a 20 second lead at one point, but the peloton kept hauling any lone riders back in. Rodríguez made his charge when a kilomtre out but Martin went with him and used his fresher legs to attack when 400 metres out to claim his first major one-day victory. [read more]
