So does anyone know what Millar's mechanical problem was?

His chain slipped off ... he popped it back on pretty impressively.

A poster on rec.bicycles.racing has reported that Brad McGee rode the last 600m with a flat rear
tyre. Anyone know what sort of difference would this have made to his time?Jan

Version: 6.0.495 / Virus Database: 294 - Release Date: 01/07/03What I can't understand is that he only had one shifter on the aero's which I guess meant that he
probably had on front chain ring????change 300m from the line?? Must be to it than that, perhaps the cobbles bounced it off?????

From the Cyclingnews site:
<quote> Millar told Cyclingnews post-stage that "I'm really disappointed about my race today. I lost
at least 5 seconds when the chain got caught between the chainrings - that happened to two other
guys on the team today." <end quote>If it happened to three riders in the same team it indicates a failure to prepare correctly.
I reckon David must be furious but it was a great ride by Brad.
At DM is in the green points jersey ;-)

Less air, less weight, so no excuse - or so my youngest decreed.

Lower gearing means he would spin out faster!
