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.
