"And Millar has become a good climber too. Unfortunately there is nobody in his team who is keeping
an eye on him: he could have been much further ahead."

That's Cofidis; every man for himself.

What do you think about Vasseur's attack today on the Col du Coq?

I don't know really; only coverage I get is http://www.cyclingnews.com/blablabla/etcetc

I guess gutsy; deserved win; great. Of no consequence to the GC.

You could also have followed the "live" reports on the CDL website. Not as fast or frequent as for
grand tours, but it was the only global live coverage.

It turned out to be no consequence to the GC, but it might've. Millar managed to limit the damage to
Moreau, and he actually put a couple more seconds into Mancebo.

I assumed Robert's point was that Vasseur was up the road rather than in a position to help Millar
maintain his 3rd on GC, potentially leaving Millar isolated and unable to contain attacks from
Moreau, etc. Can't really say what this means without knowing what the Cofidis DS was telling them.
