I bought Richard Moores book In Search of Robert Millar and I would thoroughly recommend it, as a very good read.
ISBN-10: 0007235011
ISBN-13: 978-0007235018
If you were following the sport during the 1980's you'd be aware of just how good a cyclist RM was.
Moores book is excellent on detail - especially RM's early career in Scotland.
The book also offers a great insight in to just how tough the sport at the highest level, really is.
It details the sacrifices, both physical and emotional, which a rider like RM had to go through to get to the topm of the sport.
One great quote from RM in the book is "the TDF is so tough. I didn't recover from it until November" !
The book offers a very balanced critique of RM - both the man and rider.
