Críticas:
"David Millar's book takes you inside the sport of cycling while also emphasising the absurdity of it. It's quite rare for a sportsman to be so immersed and yet able to detach themselves from it all ... The parts on crashing are amazing. I felt frightened and sore reading it" (Richard Moore, author of Slaying the Badger)
"Cycling has always been about a great deal more than its winners, and The Racer is quite a ride" (Jon Day Spectator)
"What’s it really like to be a professional bike racer? David Millar gives you an unparalleled insight" (Colin Henrys Road Cycling UK)
"A love letter to the simple pleasure of riding a bike, and a very well-written one at that" (Jamie Beach Bike Radar)
"Millar's love for what he did, and the curious world he inhabited for 18 years, shines through his prose" (Scotsman)
