WHO IS DAVID MILLAR?
David Millar is one of the most articulate voices in cycling — a former Tour de France stage winner and yellow jersey wearer, multiple British TT champion, and a rider whose 2004 EPO ban turned him into one of the sport's most credible reformist voices. He co-founded the team that became Slipstream / Garmin-Sharp explicitly around an anti-doping mission, served two decades on the front end of British TT culture, and is now ITV4's lead cycling commentator. For amateurs trying to understand TT pacing, position, and what the modern peloton actually thinks about racing, he is the bridge.
MILLAR ON AERODYNAMICS
Millar’s key positions on aerodynamics.
- The fastest TT position is the one you can hold and produce power in for the full distance — wind-tunnel-optimal is irrelevant if you fall apart at 30 minutes.
- Position, tyres, pacing and pedalling efficiency on a stock bike give amateurs more time than a £10,000 frame upgrade ever will.
IN MILLAR’S OWN WORDS
Verbatim from David Millar’s appearances on the podcast.
“the fastest position is the best position you want to find the fastest position for you not the fastest position full stop”
