With four World Time Trial titles to his name Tony Martin sits atop the list of the sport's all time greats in the discipline - alongside his old adversary Fabian Cancellara. In this conversation with Bobby and Jens, Tony reveals the truth about how tough the pursuit for that level of greatness was. From sandpaper coated saddles, to bending his shoulders, to private jet flights to fix injuries quickly - few can question Tony's commitment to his craft. But now in retirement Tony is pairing up with fellow Bobby and Jens alumnus Marcel Kittel to provide safe bikes for children.

We meet the man behind the impressive palmares and discover how life is treating him beyond cycling.
