Paris-Nice stage 3: Millar hangs on, moves to 9th overall

David Millar, Paris-Nice stage 3 In a stage that saw all the favorites beaten down by relentless rain and crosswinds, the Argyle Armada hung in to limit their losses and deliver David Millar (right) to a safe finish. Though David finished 40th on the stage, he dropped to only 9th in the overall. Dan Martin, who has been ill since the race started on Sunday, did not start the stage.

    Great Job David and crew ! Tough Classic riders day out there today ! Wishing Dan a quick recovery; Too early in the Season to go too deep and Too many races ahead to jeopardise. REST UP DAN ! Soon be in the mountains Tom your territory then Good enough to go with Levi …Good enough in France too !! Good Luck ..
    Proudly rode in your ARGYLE TODAY ;Anthony C Lincolnshire England

    Dan – bloody typical! I fork out on the Sky+ and you go and get ill!! You owe me £160.00

    Get your self to bed and don’t show yourself until the sun comes out! Us skinny blokes aren’t built for racing in leg warmers and over shoes.

    Great work! I know my team on fcycle.com is messed up but Chavanel had a hell of a ride! I am glad to see David up in the top 10! I hope he can move up a few more before it is all through! Keep the Argyle Armada Rollin’!!
