Britain's greatest Tour de France competitor before the modern era — Robert Millar's stage wins and King of the Mountains title at the 1984 Tour were the finest results by a British cyclist for three decades.
Robert Millar was the most successful British cyclist of his generation. He won the King of the Mountains competition at the 1984 Tour de France and finished fourth overall — the best result by a British cyclist until Bradley Wiggins. He won multiple stage races and established himself as one of the finest climbers of his era. He later transitioned and now lives as Philippa York.
His fourth-place finish at the 1984 Tour de France was the best result by a British cyclist for 28 years — until Bradley Wiggins won in 2012.
