David Millar returned to his home in Girona, Spain, from riding in the Criterium du Dauphine to find that thieves had broken in and cleared it out.

"Nothing quite like coming home from Dauphine and finding your house ransacked by thieves," said Millar via Twitter on Monday.

According to Millar, the thieves took many of his racing memorabilia, as well as computers, watches and televisions.

Millar's wife, Nicole, and their two children, Archibald and Harvey, were away in France watching Millar ride in the Dauphine, so the property was left unoccupied. Several jerseys were taken that had been put aside for his children.

Fran Millar, David's sister, added on Wednesday that one of the stolen watches was given to Millar by Mark Cavendish for being road captain at the road race world championships, and another was from his grandfather.

Millar is riding his final year with the Garmin-Sharp team before retiring at the end of the season. The team's Andrew Talansky won the Criterium du Dauphine.

Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
