Twice world record-holding cyclist Graeme Obree on the poetry of winning.

Sarah Brett and Nihal Arthanayake present an afternoon of news, sport and engaging conversation. Twice world record-holding cyclist Graeme Obree on the poetry of winning.

The twice world record-holding cyclist Graeme Obree, known as the Flying Scotsman, describes the rush of winning and his belief that in order to do so 'your soul's got to want it'.

During his career he twice broke the world hour record and was the individual pursuit world champion in 1993 and 1995.  He built his own bikes and invented new riding positions. He spoke to Afternoon Edition about the release of Battle Mountain - a documentary about his attempt to set a new human powered land speed record in 2013.
