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 quite a ride
Jon Day, Spectator
What’s it really like to be a professional bike racer? David Millar gives you an unparalleled insight
Colin Henrys, Road Cycling UK
A love letter to the simple pleasure of riding a bike, and a very well-written one at that
Jamie Beach, Bike Radar
Millar's love for what he did, and the curious world he inhabited for 18 years, shines through his prose
Scotsman
Poignant, articulate and at times very funny
Alasdair Fotheringham, Independent
This exceptional title is a must for anyone (which includes me) who doesn’t quite understand the psychology of a professional cyclist.
Graham Watson, Cycle Sport
A fascinating insight into the life of a seasoned pro cyclist… I doubt that many riders could make such a story as readable and informative as Millar.
