The Independent covers David Millar’s performance in the stage 4 time trial of the 2008 Tour de France and his hopes for grabbing the lead.

Millar reflected: “I’m climbing really well at the moment, and I’ll see what happens in the days ahead, but I think I’m going to be better than anybody has ever seen me before.”

Schumacher was not so optimistic about his chances, pointing out that the Superbesse –”Is not good for me. All I wanted was a stage win and a day in the lead. If I can hang on [tomorrow] it will be a big bonus.”
