David Miller is starting to annoy me

[Colonel]

No offence to anyone who likes this guy but he is always talking about these "Stages he is going to target" in GT and then does ****all and never comes close. On EPO he was good now, just alittle cleaner is merely mediocre.

He makes alot of noise and follow through.

Millar makes a lot of noise, because he's an interesting rider and gets contacted more by the media than the average rider.

What has he said this time to p*** you off?

And obviously you haven't just watched Dauphine Libere, where the Scotsman was tenth in the prologue, third in the long time trial, constantly placed in top15 in the mountains and ended no. 9 in the general ranking?

I'd say that's a pretty good effort (and follow-thru) by a "mediocre" rider....

Especially when you can have more doubts on other riders...

And without EPO or blood doping the top ten will be different as we usually see it.

Millar is Millar - not really a surprise that he irritates some.

Personally I have respect for someone like David - who is clearly a guy with some issues - he wears his heart on his sleeve - but he battles.

It's the battling I respect. I hope he is able to get some reward for his efforts in France this year. IMO he deserves it.

ive got loads of time for him and as for saying he never does anything..

great performances in dauphine..
only lost out on "the tour stage he targeted" last year (or was it the year before.. time goes so quick) when his chain broke in the final kilometre when he was clearly the class in the escape...

I think he pretty much backs up his talk with action.. .

David MillEr is truly mediocre, so much so that he's not even a pro. David MillAr on the other hand is not mediocre. Your post however comes pretty close to defining mediocrity, if only it were a tad better...

That would be in the Giro, no? The one whereh e picked up his bike and hurled it. I suppose you shouldn't bottle up such emotions.

I dont like him.

 

[lanternrouge]

Yep he is annoying, gets far far more column inches than his talent or results warrant.
The pious attitude about doping is a little hard to take from a doper.
He trains hard and races often and its I used to not do enough then its I train less hard and race little (because of an injury) and its I used to do too much! Should really know by now.
Lets not get too excited about the dauphine either as its just a (sadly) glorified training ride to some.

Exaclty - hes lied and cheated before so why should we believe in anything he says or does now

no he dosent

I always a believer of lifetime bans or even jail time (depending how far they went) for Drug Cheats

How they are still alowed to race is beyond me and I quite frankly try and ignore him as much as possible

I dont see how he can command anyones repect

If people like you were the governing body that they would.

 

[jaylew]

Starting to? He's annoyed me for years. Despite that, I'm kinda glad to see he's finally finding some form.

 

[sportzchick]

and that means what exaclty?

majority of the reasons why people still cheat in Cycling because the penalities are far too lenient. IF a rider who's is caught cheating when they are 20,22,23 etc still has time to come back and be in the sport.

My stance isnt restricted to Cycling - regardless of the sport I dont think thats right

it was last years giro indeed... i could have bothered to look up for reference but frankly its such a stupid thread i couldnt be bothered..

Spot the DM fan..

 

[subzro]

I have no time for him, he's a tired old drug cheat. I wouldn't waste my time reading quotes from him.

 

[BroDeal]

Millar has always been annoying. He is more so now that he has found "religion."

 

[msjett]

I don't really notice him that much....anymore...only when people point it out on here.

 

[El Imbatido]

I'm no Millar fan either but i do remember the Vuelta when they went up the Angliru and he threw his bike and said 'We are not animals!'

 

[toppermost]

He makes alot of noise and follow through.

I dont think he states flat out 'I am going to win this and that stage'...
Give him a break... I mean, my "goal" is to win the lottery and date a Swedish collegiate volleyball player, but....

He stole that from Jerry Seinfeld...

Seinfeld stole it from Michael York in the Isle of Dr. Moreau. Millar proably would have done better with, "Serenity now."

Colonel hasn't returned to this thread since he started it. I dont understand his sentence. Can he come back and explain what the above means?

 

[anubisza]

Millar is a classy rider, but hasn't really done much for a couple of years. I'm a fan of his, so it's nice to see that his form is looking the best it has for a long time. Wouldn't be suprised to see him in a few breakaways looking to pick up a win. I'm not sure he's got the legs for an ITT win though.

 

[NickofLouse]

Luckily David Millar isn't as annoying as that Lance Armstrong guy
