1994 Track Cycling World Championships - Obree Disqualified
Graeme Obree disqualified from the Individual Pursuit during the qualifying rounds of the World Championships. Why? Because the UCI outlawed his riding position. They had already spent half the day trying to outlaw his bike, which is why Obree is using the saddle from a 12-year old's mountain bike who was passing by.
Can't this guy catch a break???
All of this was dramatized in The Flying Scotsman, which you should see if you haven't already.

I think this is the last year they held stayer races at the World Champs. I know Phil Liggett says he's never seen a crash in one of these races before but doesn't it just look dangerous? I mean look at that gnarly wipeout. Poor track surface. Jens Veggerby is the star of the show. I'm not sure what the rules are for this race or how points are awarded. Anyone care to elaborate?

    Lots to study from this video, Obree could not afford to train on those high expensive track bikes. His bike is limited but does have some advantages 1. The bigger bottom bracket bearings ( from a washing machine) 2. The Bigger chain ring which requires a very low riding position in order for the bottom of your legs to keep that spin cadence. This gives you an advantage later in the race as the speeds pickup 3. The cadence control vs the other rider who is all over the place with the legs. The smaller chainring means you have to open your legs more often as the spin cadence is now more rotations than a larger chain ring. 4. The Righty fork on Obree's bike is excellent for oval track cycling If you notice the cadence later in the race Obree never changes it, meanwhile the other rider is all over the place and does not have a very good aero profile. Obree keeps the same cadence, same leg posture all throughout the race!!

    Obree's bike would be made of aluminium/steel as well. Everyone else in 1993 had full carbon. A full carbon version of Obree's bike...........I bet he would have lapped Boardman in this race. He was just a crazy genius. Because Boardman was the faster rider, all things being equal. On a normal bike, Obree was just a very good amateur. But he designed something that could beat the best in the world. And, as I said, it was made of cheap-ish material, in an era where everyone else was using carbon fibre shaped in wind tunnels. If Obree's bike had been manufactured that way (full carbon) it would have absolutely humiliated the competition

      Eddie the Eagle was a terrible ski jumper, that was his whole persona. He came dead last in both events in the Olympics and it wasn't even close. He was disliked by some because they felt he wasn't good enough to be there, not because he was a threat. Meanwhile Obree was a world champion and world record holder, you just can't compare the two.
