[edit] Recent changes

I have made the page a little more attractive (i think) and added Millar's Palmares. I also added some images I have of Robert riding.

My recollection was that Millar was 2nd to Steve Lawrence in the British road race championships in 1978 (not first). The next year was a repeat 2 man breakaway but this time Millar got the better of Lawrence. When asked how he out sprinted the better sprinter he said something along the lines that he pummeled him before the finish. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.188.138.158 (talk) 19:07, June 12, 2007

[edit] Phillipa York

Would anyone mind if I deleted the "today known as Phillipa York" part? I don't think tabloids are the most reliable sources. I mean...as far as I know, bat boy doesn't exist. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.72.53.76 (talk) 04:49, July 9, 2007

Yes I do mind - he is a woman now, it has been widely reported elsewhere. --Differentgravy 13:06, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I also do mind, she is woman, I have read it in different media (BBC among others) and on TV. **** —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.179.218.195 (talk) 21:18, July 28, 2007

Do you think you could provide the BBC ref, I can't seem to find it? Severo^TC 23:10, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First winner

Millar was the first British winner of a classification in a major tour (Giro, Tour, Vuelta) and not the only winner. Malcolm Elliott won the points jersey in the tour of spain circa 1990. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Barry Roubaix (talk • contribs) 11:53, July 12, 2007.

[edit] Missing image?

There's a comment "Millar (right) with Laurent Fignon" at the top of the infobox which seems to imply an image that is no longer present. Can anyone please sort this out...?
