Millar time on Le Tour as Wiggins stays in control
Twelve years after winning the prologue on his Tour debut and six after completing a two-year doping ban, the 35-year-old was triumphant on the 226-kilometre route from Saint-Jean de Maurienne to Annonay-Davezieux after a day-long escape.
On the 45th anniversary of the death of Tom Simpson, Britain’s first leader of the Tour, Millar (Garmin-Sharp) won the dash to the line from Jean-Christophe Peraud (Ag2r La Mondiale), who finished second after the duo broke clear of their three other breakaway companions in the final 3km.
