Britain's David Millar won the longest stage of the Tour de France after dominating a two-up sprint with Frenchman Jean-Christophe Peraud on Friday. Yellow jersey holder Bradley Wiggins finished nearly eighth minutes behind a leading group of five to retain his race lead after the 226km 12th stage between Saint-Jean-De-Maurienne and Annonay in the Ardeche. Wiggins' Sky teammate Chris Froome stayed second overall at 2min 05sec with Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas) in third at 2:23 and Australia's Cadel Evans (BMC) fourth at 3:19. Millar's fourth career stage on the race, and first since 2003, comes in the wake of an "horrific" Tour campaign for his Garmin-Sharp team who have lost several riders including team leader Ryder Hesjedal. "It's massive. It's been a horrific Tour for us so far," said Millar. "I really wanted to do something... prove that we're still here and show that Garmin-Sharp are one of the best cycling teams in the world."
