David Millar climbed out of the saddle for the final time as a professional in 2014 and has told the story of his final year in the peloton in The Racer.

The Scottish ace began his professional career in 1997 and, after successfully coming back from his doping ban helped to found what became Garmin-Sharp.

Having become a vociferous critic of doping, he spent eight seasons with the team before his 2014 retirement.

And Millar will be among the speakers at London’s Sports Writing Festival on Saturday (November 14) – for which we have two day passes up for grabs.
