For other people named David Millar, see David Millar (disambiguation).
David Millar (born 4 January 1977[2][3][4]) is a Scottish retired professional road racing cyclist.[5] He rode for Cofidis from 1997 to 2004 and Garmin–Sharp from 2008 to 2014.
He has won four stages of the Tour de France, five of the Vuelta a España and one stage of the Giro d'Italia.
With 32 kilometres behind them and to go, a group of five riders - among them David Millar - has just launched a breakaway from the peloton.
He was the British national road champion[6] and the national time trial champion,[7] both in 2007.
Millar was banned for two years in 2004 after he admitted to taking banned performance-enhancing drugs.[8][9] Upon his return from his ban, Millar became an anti-doping campaigner, a stance which eventually resulted in journalist Alasdair Fotheringham describing him as an 'elder statesman' of cycling.[10]
