My Take
David Millar is the kind of athlete whose story matters as much as his palmares, and that palmares is no joke: stage wins across all three Grand Tours and national road and time-trial titles. But what draws me in is the second act. A rider who knew both the heights and the hard falls of professional cycling later turned to writing and earned a literary award for it. There is a particular honesty in someone who has been humbled choosing to narrate his own life. I tend to trust the storytelling of people who have actually been tested, and his clearly was.
