I have just finished reading this book. It is a great insight into the legend that is Robert Millar – and one of the reasons in 1984 that I got into cycling and especially my love of the mountains. Millar had all his Tour de France wins in the Pyrenees but the author still talks of the great battles he had in the Alpes and especially Alpe d’Huez and the Col du Galibier.
The book can be found in all good bookstores but better still why not visit us here on one of our Cycling Holiday and read it for free.

I agree, Phil. It’s a great book and well worth a read – far more enjoyable I’m sure in the surroundings of Bourg!
