Cycling: Millar looks ahead after being confirmed in squad

David Millar has begun to consider how Great Britain and Mark Cavendish can win the Olympic road race on the opening day of London 2012 after being confirmed in the squad for the Games.

The 35-year-old Scot served a two-year doping ban from 2004 to 2006 after admitting using blood-boosting agent EPO and had written off hopes of competing in the Olympics.

Surprised when the British Olympic Association's lifetime ban for doping offenders was first challenged and then quashed, Millar then faced a quandary over whether he should – or even wanted to – be selected for London 2012.
