I have managed to get hold of a copy of David Millar’s book Racing Through the Dark (Orion, 18.99 rrp) in time to read while I am on holiday. Richard Williams reviews it in today’s Guardian book reviews.

He says about the book:

David Millar provides one of the great first-person accounts of sporting experience

The definitive review will be on this blog after I get back from holiday.

The review also covers Richard Moore’s Slaying the Badger (Yellow Jersey, £12.99), which tells the story of the rivalry between Greg LeMond and Bernard Hinault and the 1986 Tour de France. I think that it will also be worth a read.
