Paris, 4 July 2003 My first Tour de France. I had never seen a bike race. I had only vaguely heard of Lance Armstrong. I had no idea what I was doing there. Yet, that day I was broadcasting live on television. I fumbled my way through a few platitudes, before summing up with the words, "...Dave Millar just missing out on the Yellow Jumper."

His story offers an insiders view of what really goes on behind the scenes of the Tour. From upcloseandpersonal encounters with Lance Armstrong to bewildered mishaps with the local cuisine, Neds been there, done that and got the crumpledlooking tshirt.
