Surviving the “mental race”

David Millar, Paris-Nice stage 2 Today was horrible – very wet and very cold. I had my fastest crash ever, hitting the deck at 60+km/h on a straight descent. People in front of me went down and slid for what seemed like an infinite amount of time. Fortunately Rebellin, Sanchez, Schumacher, Bertognilli were there which meant we had a strong group to get back on.

I did not have much fun today. The only consolation was that the whole peloton had a horrible day, and most worse than mine. Snow is going to be added to the equation tomorrow in the final which will make it epic. Man this a mental race!

    Allez Dave.

    It's the easy side of Ventoux anyway ;-)
  • Greeny
    Keep going David - one by one your GC rivals are falling by the wayside. We're rooting for you and really hoping you can pull off the "big one" on the Ventoux...


    Go Millar!!!

    Just keep going. You're an inspiration to everyone who ever made a mistake and had the courage to admit it.
  • Brutal weather, brutal conditions and what sounds like a truly spectacular crash today. Survive and advance guys, survive and advance.

    Amazing comeback David after that crash! I hope the wet roads minimized your road rash and it will be the last of any bad luck in Paris-Nice. Everyone I know is very much enjoying your refreshing attitude and all-or-nothing riding style this year. It's really a joy to watch and so nice to actually be talking about the racing instead of all the other crap so hard to ignore. Everything is crossed for you. Best of luck on Ventoux.
