Philippa York used to be Robert Millar, and he was one of Britain’s greatest cyclists. At the Tour de France he won the mountains classification, and did the same at the Giro d’Italia. He took stages at all three Grand Tours amongst many other big wins, but the whole time, he wanted to be someone else. Robert has now gone, after transitioning into Philippa - or Pippa, as she's also known. She’s now in her late 50s and, as I found when we headed towards the Dorset seaside from her pretty cottage, still loves riding a bike and climbing hills on it.
