The Millar Diaries: Winning.
I am so relieved that I won — I am so happy that I felt as good as I hoped to — and above all, I am over the bloody moon I won a sword!
But what makes this great is that I can share my success with my team. Kiwi Guy is sitting here next to me right now having a beer, he has done 62 grand tour stages this year, 63 tomorrow. From May 9 until now he has on average raced every other day… that is our sport. That is Kiwi Guy! He is so sick and tired and finished and yet he hasn’t given up.
As for the rest of this race, Ryder ROCKS! He is becoming a real road pro, the way he raced the first half of this race was inspiring, and how he won his stage was pure talent, courage, and savoir-faire.
And Tyler — I love Ty — spent so much of this year learning how to lead him out and finally did it properly for the first time the day he won, it’s a testament to his talent I keep trying.
Good times. It’s nice to be able to share the success.
