PSA Chris Boardman on Desert Island Discs

I was waiting for the presenter on that video to keel over with a heart attack.

I dearly wish he would.

His autobiography is complimentary of Obree if anything.

Seems self-deprecating too.

Just been reading his autobiography off the back off this thread.

Quite funny in places, really enjoying it. He credits Obree with pushing him to achieve most of his records and also pushing the sport forward with the first real appreciation of aerodynamics in cycling.

There’s been a mix-up, that paperback cover comes from Philippa York’s book.

I quite like Boardman, he’s got a sardonic sense of humour and he was nice when I met him – minutes after the send of the 1994 Dover to Brighton TdF stage.

More of Chris Boardman from about 5 or 6 years ago. An insight into his career and motivation.

This automatically followed on from the above on YouTube and is worth a watch I think. Well I enjoyed it anyway. First time I’ve tried to link a video so I hope it works.
