‘I was pretty down, I’ll just take another punch’ – David Millar opens up about CHPT3 closure, ITV losing the Tour de France and new role at Factor Bikes

David Millar, the British former professional cyclist, founder of the recently-shuttered clothing brand CHPT3 and Tour de France commentator for ITV, has announced he is stepping into a new role as Brand Director at Factor Bikes.

The Scotsman, who has resided in Girona since his days as a pro, has been on the brand’s payroll since October in a role as a Super Ambassador but is moving into a more permanent position following the closure of his clothing business and the news that the ITV has lost the rights to show the Tour de France.
