Dan Martin eyes happy return to Pyrenees

Dan Martin is eyeing up the next three stages of the Tour de France as potential days where he could make a real statement of intent.

The Irishman is well-poised in 10th place overall going into stage seven today for what is the first of three big journeys through the Pyrenees.

By Monday’s rest day a definite order to the general classification will take shape and Martin intends to be there.
