Millar komt terug van blessure;
Britain's David Millar goes into Sunday's Giro d'Italia opening team time trial in fine spirits after training with his Garmin-Slipstream team-mates in Northern Spain. The 32-year-old Scot formed part of last year's team-winning ride in the opening event, and despite breaking his collarbone at Paris-Nice in March, believes that both he and the team are ready to battle it out at the Giro once again.
“We've had our final training camp in Girona last week and on Saturday we did some short efforts, followed by a race simulation on Sunday,” said Millar. “On a personal level, my shoulder has recovered really well. I had almost a month completely off the bike but it's coming along nicely.”
However Millar has mixed feelings when it comes to the Giro. The rider was heavily critical of the race organisers last year and lambasted both the long transfers and race profile. “I swore I'd never go back to the Giro,” said Millar. "But when we took a step back and had a look at the situation and my condition after the collar break, we decided that it made sense to ride.

“I'm coming in with very low expectations and anything will be better than last year,” he added. “It's not how I planned my season but that's the way the cookie crumbles.”
