• Peloton should fight for cyclists’ rights, Armstrong adds
David Millar’s candidacy for president of the professional riders’ union, the CPA, may have the support of Geraint Thomas and Chris Froome but his suitability to lead the professional peloton has been questioned by his former teammate, Lance Armstrong.
“Millar is probably the last person that would come to mind for this role,” Armstrong told the Guardian of the CPA presidency election on Thursday. The American’s scepticism follows a whispering campaign against the Scot’s past character and his efforts to oust the long-standing CPA president, Gianni Bugno.
