Unlike rival Fabian Cancellara, Tony Martin has said he will prioritise the hour record for either this year or the following season, but he does believe the World Championships Time Trial is mire important for now.

“I definitely don’t agree [with Cancellara],” he told Cycling Weekly. “There can’t be enough attention on the Hour Record. I think Cancellara should try it when Wiggins and I have done it and we’ll see then how it goes.”

“[The Hour Record] is a certainly a goal…it’s on the agenda for 2015 or 16,” Martin said.

“We are still planning and there are a lot of things to do, so I’m not 100 per cent sure what the timeline will be. But we’ll speak about it and I think we will announce in 2015 what the plan is.”

Bradley Wiggins, who will try to beat the hour Record in June, ended Martins’s three-year winning streak in the Worlds ITT, but he isn’t going to compete in 2015 and Martin said he had run out of goals, but he is now hungrier to win his title back.

“In the end you run out of goals because how often do you want to win it? I can accept that I lost it but the will to win it back now is even stronger.”
