Tour de France 2009

Millar was not stupid in the slightest, saying that is very shortsighted. He was out in front for a long time with all the cameras in him and got a massive amount of publicity, he may not of won the stage but his sponsors will be very pleased with him.

i was in dartford when he went on a solo break when the tour left Lahndaan the buzz when he stormed up the road dancing on the pedals was electric. joe public despite knowing fuck all about cycling knew there was a brit out front and wanted to cheer him on.
In the post race interview (today) he mentioned the crowd and the streets he knew well as he lives in girona. He said it reminded him of the crowd at canterbury.
i think he's a bit of a romantic and feeds off the occasion, maybe after all the dark days of his doping confession he just want's to be liked and a have a bit of recognition back home?
