    great to see Millar win again. Turning into not a bad season for him. Wonder if he'll be tempted to make a run for the Giro again if this is how he's going?

    Good ride.

    He must be the favourite for Flanders now. :wink:

    Well - his comments post-race seem to indicate that HE thinks he can have a go at Flanders!

    Excellent. On a seriously note I think he could do pretty well.

    He didn't rule it out in the post-race interview :wink:

    Great ride.

    He also confirmed he's doing the 3 GTs, so it's a heavy year in the making.

    Excellent Millar really pleased. I like the fact he went to the race with the open objective of winning and he did just that. No training, pure racing.

    Do you think he is entering all three to win ?

    I can't figure out what bait you are using, so, I'll give the short, patently obvious answer: no.

    Och dont mind me i am only asking to see if there are occasions when riders enter a race not to win it.

    A rider who has never had the ability to win one Grand Tour, never mind three, used to try and make some pointless point about Armstrong?
    Right, the connection, not unsurprisingly, had escaped me.
    Should have realised you were feeding your Armstrong obsession.
    You know, the one you accuse everybody else of having.

    Good, so lets stick to Millar.
    I'm sure he'll ride to his form and go for stage wins, in all his big races.
    So, he'll be entering each GT to try and win something, no?

    He will be in there mainly to work for others with GC ambitions with i suppose a tilt at the TTs in the last week.

    I thought the connection is more that FF has stated that true champions only ever race to win so as he's singing Millar's praises the assumption is he believes Millar will go out to try to win all 3. Apologies to Moray if I've missed his point :wink:
