Imlach should have prefaced his first question to Millar with some kind of observation about the conflict of interest Millar has in this case, namely the position of his sister. Or ITV4 should have got another pundit in to deal with that part of the programme. Or both.

If his sister wasn't involved, I think Millar would have been more damning.

Very good point re his sister, I keep forgetting about her.

On an unrelated point, there was an interview with the ITV4 team and Gary Imlach came across as a thoroughly nice person.

I’d never heard of Chris Horner, the oldest ever GT winner at the age of 41. I don’t recall commentators ever mentioning him which makes me think they don’t want to remind us all of something so suspect?!

One of the dodgiest looking grand tour wins in recent times, remember watching that with my son, it was pretty obvious he was on something, Horner, not my son he was only 12 at the time.

.... and don’t forget the last minute change to the whereabouts system so that when the testers turned up at his hotel the morning after the race, he was on a plane back to the States

i remember one stage in that race when (IIRC) Nibali was chasing him so fast that he nearly overcooked a corner going uphill and still couldn’t close the gap

That might have been the Angliru stage where he set the 2nd fastest ever ascent time, only bettered by Robert Heras in 2000. Heras is a former team mate of Lance Armstrong at US Postal, and was found guilty of EPO use (although got off on a technicality). Just saying :whistle:

Or riding Contador off his wheel on a summit finish, then looking fresh as a daisy after winning the stage until he suddenly remembered to look knackered and pretended to collapse to the floor.
I'd say a draw with Cobo for most obviously doped GT winner of the last decade.

I recall Cobo also got help from other spanish teams /riders as they plotted against Froome
