It seems a long time ago, now , but four weeks ago , back on the 4th of June , the English football team struggled to a 2 - 2 draw with Switzerland in a Euro qualifier - the manager of the team struggled to explain their tiredness and lack of motivation. Motivated to play for your country ? Tiredness ? And there was me , thinking footballers were highly trained athletes......
In this context , it's interesting to read the Guardian Sport ' Big Interview ' this week with the cyclist David Millar of Team Garmin , whose autobiography has just been published , already odds-on favorite for Sports book of the year. Last year was a hard Tour and he suffered , but he didn't realise until after he had spent the last week climbing in the Alps and finished the Tour that he had three broken ribs.......broken during the first week. Interesting to read , also , his comments with regard to his fellow British riders Mark Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins......
The full interview can be read at
Good luck to him, and good luck to Cav . Bradley Wiggins ? Lets see...............
