'Flying Scotsman' Graham Obree, will now line up against a team of four up-and-coming riders for a pursuit match over 4 km at the next Revolution track meeting in Manchester on December 9. The former world hour record holder was due to partner Ian Stannard for a 2 km team pursuit but no suitable match could be found for the pair.
Revolution technical director Gordon Harling explained the reasons behind the change: "We decided to tweak the format of the feature event to ensure the crowd get to see Graeme at his best," he said. "We knew that Graeme had taken on a similar challenge in the past against a team of amateur riders so lining him up against the Future Stars made perfect sense".
