We are excited to present a rare chance to see Time Trial, the inside story of British cyclist David Millar's final year in the professional peloton, on the big screen at the Mockingbird Cinema in Birmingham.

Our screening takes place the week before the start of the 2022 Tour de France.

The access-all-areas film follows Millar through the 2014 season as he builds up for one more shot at the Tour.

Time Trial presents the gritty reality of professional cycling, and the physical and mental struggle of a top rider still pursuing their dreams when it would be easier to stop. It shows the details of individual and team race strategies from the inside, while Millar himself reflects on his relationship with a sport that has brought him both glory and controversy.

Now a commentator on ITV, David Millar rode 12 Tours de France, winning four stages, including the first stage of the 2000 edition, which put him in the yellow jersey. In a 17-year professional career, Millar also won four stages of the Vuelta a Espana and two in the Giro d'Italia.

Tickets for our screening are £10 and £8 concessions. 

The screening will be introduced by former Procycling writer and regular Cycling Nights host Duncan Steer

You can see a trailer for Time Trial at this link. 

Please note: Time Trial is rated 18 by the BBFC, and contains very strong language. Its run time is 82 minutes.

This screening of Time Trial is by special arrangement with the Scottish Documentary Institute.
