David Millar’s Final Paris-Roubaix

200 men stood ready in Compiègne waiting to begin the 2014 edition of Paris-Roubaix, 200 individual stories rich in texture and unique all their own. How each man came to be there, at that moment, is surely a testament to strength of will, perseverance and dedication. One story in particular stands out for us and that is David Millar’s. After 17 years as a professional, after completing a dozen Tours de France (winning stages and earning the yellow jersey), after numerous completions of the Giro and Vuelta, after winning national championships and numerous international races he stood in Compiègne with thoughts and emotions usually reserved for us mortals.

This year’s Giro will obviously be decided in the final week which is loaded with long, regular climbs and it is another question how Martin will handle those strains. Over the last year, the Garmin rider has stepped up his level massively and his performance in the last two editions of Liege-Bastogne-Liege and last year’s Il Lombardia prove that he is now one the world’s leading contenders for the hilly classics. As a grand tour contender, however, he is almost a completely blank page. He has already done six three-week races but so far he has rarely had a focus on the overall standings. Instead, he has always underlined his approach of treating the races as 21 consecutive one-day classics and ...
