Miller sacked?

Had an e-mail reporting that Cofidis has given him the push... and
that Decathlon's not going supply bike to the team anymore.

Not heard that but Cofidis are apparently quitting pro-cycling and
looking at setting up a golf team. They could hire Chris Boardman!

Vaisseur went to court yesterday to get reintegratd into the tour, no
decisions yet. He accuses LeBlanc of double standards for letting a
number of pro-cyclists under investigation in Italy for starting.

Can golfers be corrupted as much as Millar's Cofidis team was? Was it
the Vuelta where Millar stopped his bike a few feet from the finish line in
protest of the stage route that day? He's a cheater, a quitter, and global
citizen bore. Some like Lance, Tyler have the ability to raise teams to a
higher level. Then there are some, who are like boat anchors, that make it
damn near impossible for a team to progress ahead. Millar was the latter.

You should place more blame on the team management. They style was to
accumulate riders with UCI points. David managed to keep enough for
him and win prologues and time trials, along with a regular TdF stage
to maintain his profile. He used to be considered a prospect for the
TdF podium, but I could see clearly he wasn't anywhere near the
climber he needed to achieve such. That Cofidis kept him around
suggested they were fine about not having a serious GT contender.
O'Grady is easily twice the rider of Millar and it's a shame to see
his season affected. Smart of Astarloa to bail when he had his
chance.

I think his finest hour was in last year's Tour when he got his Directeur
Sportif replaced ("promoted out"😉 after failing to listen to the latter's
continued advice about putting a front derailleur.

This is one thing I do hold against Millar. He blew his top, said
regrettable things about Alain Bondue, which pretty much were accepted
by the team bigwigs and after Bondue was on his way out David seemed to
cool down, rather forgetting he made such accusations.

His stunt on L'Angliru was utterly nuts.

Wouldn't you be [censored] and looking for someone to blame if you had
just risked having your heart blowup by taking a course of EPO only to
have it all taken away by your own stupidity?
