Millar is giving a great but futile crack!

Allez Dave!

Millar Time !

I wonder if this might be his last hurrah at the TdF.

The Frenchies must be fed up to the back teeth with those perfidious Brits!

He has more or less said so. Nice finale like Jens Voigt's yesterday

 

[smutchin]

What happened ?

Not sure but he must have been in a very bad way to have abandoned with just 40km to go.

Millar is one of these blokes who always looks good on a bike

Aye, going out in style too - it brings a tear to one's eye his story, that of potential & ability wasted to drugs, of facing demons and fronting up to the past - destined to fail this evening, this is about as honourable an exit as you could want and with the world looking on.

Yep. I meant on the Champs but he has a good dig.
He has announced his fairly imminent retirement too.

I recall him saying he wants to race long enough for his son Arthur to remember it. I hope he hangs off long enough to ride for Scotland in Glasgow next year.

He has apparently re-thought it after the birth of kid #2

That Cavendish bloke is a midget - he's got no chance!

He could retire from cycling and go offshore, more time at home that way.

Cav needs a Wiggo lead-out. Maybe Froomey will do the honours!
