Looks interesting.
Richard Moore is a good author, his book on Robert Miller was a great read. He also gave a film presentation of The High Life when the book was released which due to his background was just as fascinating. IIRC that was at the Mountain film Festival at Fort William a few years back, the one that was with Gary fisher and our old mate Charlie.
Look forward to seeing how this progresses as I really like David Millar.

Is that the book on Robert Miller that mentions the possibility he now a wummin?

 

[Jamiedyer]

Yeah, I think he does mention it. During the talk he gave he said how there were rumours etc going around and as he had known Robert said he never discussed it with him and thought it was a personal issue anyway.
I remember not long after I came to Scotland I went to Billy Bilslands shop to see his Polka dot jersey, still hanging there framed. A bit dusty and hidden up in the corner, but still there.

It was watching Robert Millar on the Tour in the late '80's on Channel 4 around '86 ish that got me interested in the Tour.
Watched it every year since.

Ya just waitin fur a glimpse o his tits!

Tits is tits. Millar's would hopefully be quite perky, but at his age now they'll be mair like moobs. :roll:

 

[Jamiedyer]

Regardless of his sexuality, he comes across as not only being a great rider, but also a very intelligent, driven person, as well as a nice guy, even if a bit eccentric. I've found his blog posts on cyclingnews.com the last two years during the Tour to be very insightful and honest.

Eccentric yes, in hindsight he comes across as a very driven person.
Much like Graeme Obree I suppose.
