If you watched live ITV4 you would have heard an awkward interview between Ned and Dave and a 'female' called 'Pippa York' who was finished 4th in the (men's) TDF in 1984. In case anyone was confused as I was for a minute this is or was Robert Millar now living as a woman apparently. I read tabloid rumours in Richard Moore's biography but thought it might just be hype. But the reasons for Millar's low profile since retirement can be explained by this.
Bob always did like a nice long pony-tail. King/Queen of the Mountains 1984.
