Just done a huge shift at work, then helped my brother move house.
Then I cooked a meal for my folks, took my lad swimming, before cracking a beer and sitting down to the TdF.
Not a scintillating stage, but the presence of Dave in the break had me sweating.
Surely not..
Not after all this time.
Back in the day I followed Millar on the Tour de France & the Tour of Spain, fitting holidays around his riding. And when he won... man! It was special.
That special happened again for me today, but I've got the added pleasure of knowing he's squeaky clean.
That sprint finish against Santiago Botero in 2001, neck tendons straining and teeth gritted, the bowed head of his opponent and the punch of victory - it happened again! 11 years later! And this time it's the Tour!
Chapeau Dave!
I fucking loved it.
