Explanation Supposing Books Racing Through the Dark

As a keen fan of cycling and the big Tours in particular I was looking forward to reading this book, and it didn't disappoint.
David Millar raced through an era when other Brits came and went ( Chris Boardman etc), survived and is still there putting in great performances as a Domestique.
Having always been a keen supporter of any Brits who dared to challenge the might of European cycling ( or Lance Armstrong) I followed David's performances in the big tours with interest and pride. I was therefore saddened to learn along with many others he had been doping. This book gives the details and truth behind the scenes that led to his downfall from grace, and is an "addictive" and compelling read.
Although a flawed hero he is a hero still in my eyes given his current vocal anti doping stance and his genuine ability to still surprise some of the younger riders (see highlights of TDF 2012 for his wonderful stage win or his aggressive tactics and willingness to bury himself in 2013 TDF ) I am delighted he continues to ride.
A great book with true insight that could do with an extra couple of chapters when he finally retires ( about Lance and also David's last few years as a clean rider and vocal anti doping campaigner)

PS added in 2018 - David has now written the follow up and if anything it is even better, so look out for "The Racer" (it won't let me add a link ??)

David Millar's autobiography is frank, sometimes painful, and full of interest. Dramatic start - his arrest in Biarritz after dinner with Dave Brailsford. Then the rest of the book goes back to his boyhood and earlier life, how he got into professional cycling and was then led astray into the clutches of doping and what has happened since. I found it an eye-opener, having watched him over the years in the Tour de France and lately having enjoyed his insiders-view commentary and analysis on the

Because of all the Lance Armstrong related hubbub I have not reviewed this because I thought I should do something more than just review this one book, but better to do something than nothing. Many people who are not cycling enthusiasts will not know who David Millar is - there is a Wikipedia article that provides a lengthy overview. (Arguably it is a wiser time investment to read what is in Wikipedia than the book.)Millar rode for several teams and was someone from whom success was expected not

A well written and honest look inside elite cyclingAs a newcomer to the joy of cycling later in life and a fan of road racing I am now lapping up a wealth of information about the last 20 years in cycling. David has obviously suffered for his art but with that suffering has come the gift of communication that now serves him well opening up the world of elite cycling through his writing and broadcasting to a public that only recently became aware of Grand Tour and Classics through the wonder of



Millar was one of the last British cyclists to go through the older system of being an amateur, before turning pro and being a domestique and main rider for the European teams. He is an immensely talented rider, and if British cycling had been in existence when he started I dont think that he would have had all the problems with dope and drugs, that ended up with him being banned for two years.For all that he has done, he is now a major ambassador for anti doping. In the book he talks of the

David doesn't make himself likable and is still looking to blame someone for his actions through this book. If you don't agree with him then you must be a doper. A little too condescending and superior sounding to feel like he has changed much.
