Millar Backstedt Vandevelde Giro 2008

David Millar had a huge smile on his face as he celebrated Slipstream?s team time victory and Christian Vande Velde?s pink jersey on the podium. The Scot has always been a key part of the Slipstream team and rightly enjoyed the team?s first major success.

?It?s mission accomplished. We worked really hard for this. Today was nothing about luck, it was all about judgement,? Millar told Cycling Weekly.
