Revolution Opener welcomes champions this week-end

The Manchester Velodrome is set to welcome a sell-out audience as Revolution returns on Saturday, November 15. Now entering its sixth season, the event opener will see such cycling stars as Brad McGee, in his final competitive outing, battle it out along with Stuart O'Grady, Matt Goss and David Millar. They will be joined by the cream of British talent including Olympic medallists Geraint Thomas, Ed Clancy, Jamie Staff, Jason Kenny, Chris Newton and Steven Burke.

With Great Britain now the team to beat on the track, a special 'Champions vs. Champions' race has been added to the programme as Team Pursuit takes on Team Sprint in a 750m flying time trial. With Staff, Kenny and Ross Edgar taking on Thomas, Clancy and Burke, the race will be one of the highlights of the evening and the result could be closer than expected.
