  • See Obree is wearing a different helmet against Ermenault than Boardman? Thats because Boardman gave Obree his after Obree beat him, only because Boardmans was better. What a good sport

  • Incredible! Mr. Graeme Obree was he was revolutionary in cycling, I still can not

    understand why UCI were always against him. he was just looking for the best aerodynamic position. visionary.

  • @kenatlaw have you heard about the attempt on the human powered land speed record??? Obree is having a shot at that! it's on the BBC website

  • Graeme Obree... an absolute genius with superhuman physical capabilities.

  • Obree is absolutely incredible. He's not even riding discs! I can't even put into words the respect I have for the man.

  • tough time getting out of his pedals, since of course this shoes were just welded to the end of the crank arms. hahaha. his internal struggle was with the fact that he was gay, but married with kids.

  • @shugmcglug He wrote a book called "The Flying Scotsman," same title as the movie. He is an incredible man, he was going to try for the one hour record again this year (at age 42) on a bicycle he built, longer for his tall frame, but his psychiatrists advised against it. I think he has one record left in him.

  • just been looking up on his biography and he is bi polar, what a tremendous effort to compete at any level nevermind World championship

  • those 2 nay have been opponents on the track but Boardman offering Obree his helmet was true sportsmanship of the greatest kind

  • Two thumbs up for Obree...
