Graeme Obree is back

Obree is back on form and possibly thinking of heading for another season of racing?

It's nearly 12 years since he smashed the World Hour Record (July 17, 1993) yet he rolled back the years to win the Glasgow Couriers-Bennett Developments 10 mile time trial on Saturday (30.04.05).

His time of 19 minutes and 55 seconds was one of the fastest of the season so far and nearly one minute quicker than that of the rest of the field, Arthur Doyle (Ivy CC) was second and Hugh Jamieson (Inverclyde Velo) was third.

Who is Obree? Interesting feature and follow the links at the bottom of this article.
