David Millar's book takes you inside the sport of cycling while also emphasising the

absurdity of it. It's quite rare for a sportsman to be so immersed and yet able to
detach themselves from it all ... The parts on crashing are amazing. I felt frightened
and sore reading it'

Richard Moore, author of Slaying the Badger

'Cycling has always been about a great deal more than its winners, and The Racer is
