On a good day, David Millar’s roommate at Cofidis can
climb with the best and the Frenchman, now living in
central Paris, has showed consistent form this season
with wins in the hilly stage of the Critérium International in
March and the overall of the Clasica Alcobendas in Spain in
May.
However, he is known to be an erratic rider at the best of times -- “You tell him he’s the leader and he’ll blow it straight away,” says his
directeur Frans Van Londersele -- so the responsibility of leading the
polka-dot competition could prove hard for him to handle.
