Review of Time Trial (2017) by Anthony B — 30 Jul 2018

How did this get 86%? I can only assume that professional critics don't ride much.

Time Trial is:

- Totally uninformative - you learn very little about cycling - the pain, the tactics etc; you learn very little about Millar's doping (in some kind or artistic statement he refuses to tell the watcher);.

- Totally inward-facing: it's like one long selfie, which would be fine except it's.

- Unbalanced: there is nothing about the joy and passion of the sport and it's all about a negative spiral into and out of the Autumn of Millar's career. He can not find a positive word to say (except for a general statement that "...everything gets better.");.

- Embarrassing for Garmin Sharp: morale and inspirational leadership is totally lacking in the team if you go by this.

Here's what I learned: Millar only wanted to ride one TdF. He rode many more than he wanted to and he's upset about that. He's torn between not wanting to ride (he says he doesn't want to ride in the break any more) and really not wanting to ride.

I get that Millar is a negative guy when it comes to cycling, but I struggled to the end and was left with a negative and flat feeling about a mixed, but passionate sport which lasted my whole flight. Perhaps this was his goal and it should get more stars for that.
