Praise for David Millar’s Racing Through the Dark

“World-class cyclist Millar examines his tarnished quest to the top of his sport in his stunning memoir…. Anyone interested in the grueling world of the men in professional cycling ought to read this candid, courageous book of Millar’s journey from regret to redemption.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

“One of the great first-person accounts of sporting experience … Laceratingly honest, detailing every twist in the argument by which he convinced himself to take a step he had previously considered unthinkable. Anyone seeking to understand the motivation of a drug cheat, or wondering why such a man should be allowed back into his sport, will find their curiosity satisfied here.” —THE GUARDIAN (UK)

“Unbeatable as a snapshot of the professional peloton, its agonies and ecstasies … Emotional yet in no way overwrought, Millar’s memoirs read like a parable more than a manifesto. Essential reading for all young riders as well as fans.” —PROCYCLING

“The greatest strength of this plainly but compellingly told story is that it doesn’t shock. Millar is searingly honest about his own failings and neuroses but his book is intelligent, subtle, nuanced, not flowery or overly descriptive—and it is all the more powerful for it. This will go down as one of the great sporting autobiographies.” —SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY (UK)

“A sporting masterpiece, a timeless snapshot of a sportsman plumbing the depths and miraculously bouncing back both as a rider and a man.” —DAILY TELEGRAPH (UK)

“An incredibly personal, moving, and compelling story.” —CYCLING PLUS

“Searingly honest.” —MAIL ON SUNDAY (UK)
