David Millar was in full praise for his Garmin-Sharp team mates after he rose to second overall in the 100th Tour De France.
The Scot could have been in yellow tonight but the second that Radio Shack's Jan Bakelandts finished ahead of the peloton on the second stage from Bastia to Ajaccio, meant that Milar, who was fourth in the opening stage, had to settle for second place today.
Millar tweeted: "Came here to look after our GC guys, today they took care of me. Proud of @Ride_Argyle. Not only my team, my friends. Still, 1 second blows.
"And I have to say, one helluva ride by Bakelants, he deserved that 100%."
