For the last time...

his name is not OLIVER RODRIGUEZ!!

"If I were World Road Race Champion, I would wear black shorts. That probably has more to do with me being on the wiser side of 30 and understanding better that the decisions I make now never really go away. White shorts would not be something I'd be proud of...." - David Millar, in Rouleur.

Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler

pfff, crying as always

Be like O’Grady and toughen up.

J/K, his relentless attacking spree this season has finally paid off. :D

Try looking at Paris-Roubaix photos 2007. Stuey cried too

and if you want more try our fave Tony. Cryers all three and all the better for it ;)

Oh I do know, a rather big Stuey fan

as well as a fan of how the Saxo/CSC guys are trained(by a former elite soldier) to hug and share emotions. (:

He is really, finally, holding his head high.

As his own worst critic, he’s finally got those inner demons bound and tied. Good for him. Looks a proper winner, and proper world champion.
