'It’s just a really raw measure of who is the best' – Matthew Richardson on being the 'fastest cyclist of all time'

Matthew Richardson of Great Britain celebrates after setting a world record breaking time of 8.857sec in the UCI Men Elite 200m Flying Start record attempt, bettering the world record he set 24 hours earlier.

Matthew Richardson has described the flying 200m record, which he set last week, as the "raw measure of who is the best".

The British rider became the first rider to set a time of under nine seconds on the track at the velodrome in Konya, Turkey, last Thursday, and went on to break his own record the next day, setting a benchmark of 8.857.
