    Would have been quite funny if he got fined for speeding on the route :P

    Rumour has it he did it from cold, plus notice he said he hadn't been there before so no idea if he recced the course or not.

    But he just happened to have his team-issue TT bike to hand?

    It was his 'private' cycling club that organized the TT, he didn't just rock up to someone else's event. What do you expect him to do a TT on? A Brompton? As the interview states it was to help to promote the book.

    Judgeing from a few post's on here recently, a lot of people seem to have a disliking for Millar. Why so? Bet theres a few regular richmond park riders on here that now hate the fella :lol:

    If I could get my hands on that bike and that kit, I reckon I could beat that time with a bit of practice!

    He cunningly disguised himself as a French onion seller, complete with beret, as soon as he completed the race to avoid being caught breaking the speed limit.

    Just in time for his book release ;)


    I find it very difficult not to like Millar.

    Keen.

    Hmmm, I have never done a lap of Richmond Park in 13:35. I have never worn a beret. Maybe, just maybe...

    He would have been quicker if he hadn't stopped to wave at passing the cyclists. :)
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Crap. The video has been taken down after the police complained - started watching it at lunch and it stopped working - ain't gonna start working again it seems.
