Muhammad I'maadi Abd Aziz, is determined to make the most of his Scottish adventure.
The 21-year-old part-time cyclist, who is competing in three events, has struggled at the Chris Hoy velodrome after failing to progress past the heat stages of the 40km points race and 20km scratch race.
Hardly a surprise considering the history student never gets to ride on polished boards.
"We don't have a track in Brunei," he told reporters on Sunday. "We train on the road in the heat.
"I have never trained on the track, I just race on it. But it's a great experience for me. It's (the scratch race) the biggest race I have ever raced in."
