I wanted to be liked, I wanted to make them happy,” he said. “I wanted to be
French and I wanted to fit in.
----Why did Phil Liggett think Millar was a fellow countryman, when Millar
thought he was Frenchman?
Millar plans to move to Spain, possibly to Girona, Lance Armstrong’s last
European base, in the new year. “Good weather, good roads and a reasonable
quality of life are what I’m looking for, but I don’t think I’ll be living
in a surfing, partying seaside town again,” he said, mindful of the
distractions of his former home in Biarritz.
----What happened to the fake french castle he was building? Did he think
he was a French nobleman?
Millar hopes that his new girlfriend, Nicole, will go with him. “We can live
a chilled-out existence and I can focus on training and racing,” he said.
----What happened to the fake French girlfriend?
“But the good thing is that I will come back to the UK a lot more and spend
time there.
----Sanity! Not a citizen of the world afterall. Now let's all hope he
doesn't start thinking he's spanish, now that he has signed with a team from
Spain.
You should do something about that obsession of yours.

lol!
I thought this was the most interesting thing he said (cyclingnews):
After his ban, Millar fled France and relocated in Hayfield, Derbyshire
and stopped riding. "I had a long time off the bike, when I just didn't
even touch it," he told The Times. "Last summer I started riding again,
around the Peak District. I loved it and within a month felt like I was
flying. It reminded me that actually I am quite good at it."
It must be a cool feeling (to have talent).

Do both of those also apply to the Lafferty obsession, Dr. Jeremiah?

I don't find Laff to be as off-base as many rbr regulars do. There are
at least three reasons for this:
1. He isn't as off-base as rbr regulars think he is.
2. I read his posts very selectively, so I don't get the full measure
of Laffertism.
3. I myself am a dumbass.
The truth is probably two of the three.
Recall that I started a thread in which I described my conversion to
Laffertism following the Tyler Hamilton doping scandal. Something
about that case still bothers me. Knowing that either an innocent
person is being ruined, OR that someone like TH could be a cheat, are
both unsettling.

Dumbass -
He's not that off-base, the problem is that all he posts about is LANCE
or drugs or both and it's very, very often.
It's lame.

I like millar - he has panache. come to think of it, all my favorite
cyclists: millar, zulle, VDB were/are all dopers - so maybe they take
drugs so they can have panache.
remember in the tour of spain when millar broke away,
literally riding the field off his wheel on a climb, and then
TT'ing to victory? yeah, thats not normal,
you need to take dope to do that.

You ever have 1 or 2 exceptionally good days a year where you can do
that?
It does happen.

So you find it OK to ruin Tyler perchance that he was cheating.
One word "latent"
No, depending on what universe you're in, all you need are a few grams off
your wheels (although some methamphetamine hydrochloride may also be
useful according to the rbr astrophysics minion).
On dope.

Nope. The downside is that it's entirely unpredictable and can occur on a
training day.
