At his peak, Scottish cycling star David Miller was unbeatable, becoming the first British rider to wear the Leader’s Jersey in all three Grand Tours – France Italy and Spain. It all came crashing down in 2004, when he was banned for using performance enhancing drugs. Though his post-suspension career saw success it was dogged by injury. A new film, Time Trial, documents what would turn out to be Millar’s last attempt at winning the Tour de France, capturing the arduous brutal reality of top-flight championship cycle races.
