Great to see Dan Martin take this final step between threatening something big and actually doing it, he certainly looks to have progressed well.
Great result for Ireland and Birmingham(?) !
Well he's half and half so we can still claim him for Britain too.

Strictly speaking he races under an Irish licence. Therefore, you can't claim him for Britain

Does he have an Irish accent as a matter of interest?

His dad put up 2 pics on Facebook, one of a shot of the podium from his TV with "someone pinch me" and another of a cigar with "sorry Purito, not this time - again"

I can't recall hearing him speak. I'd imagine he does

Apparently not Netty...

I can't recall hearing him speak. I'd imagine he does

EDIT: I might lose this argument. He became "Irish" in 2004 through his mother (Roche)

Anyway - Licence says IRL. He's one of us

Of course - he's yours! I was just interested.

Maybe but I've pencilled in @Noodley as the Widow Twankey.

Not an ugly sister, you've missed a trick I reckon........mind you....

We can claim anyone we care to make a case for !!!!

Greg Rusedski
Zola Budd
Chris Froome

By the way, I did say "too"

But that doesn't apply to any Belgians or Aussies who want to make a case for Wiggo

Fantastic finish by Dan Martin, chapeau to him, and of course a great push from Hesjedal forced the group and set up the Irishman nicely, brilliant team racing from Garmin-Sharp. Emphatic win.

 

[Crackle]

He looks Irish

He looks like Rodger Daltrey.

What passport does he have ? Accent may not tell too much. I have a Canadian passport but a highland accent myself.

 

[raindog]

I thought he was born and brought up in Brum?
