PENDLETON DOMINATES REVOLUTION 23

Victoria Pendleton Sky+HD team track October 30 2008

published 12 January 2009

Queen of the track Victoria Pendleton returned to Manchester velodrome on Saturday night and swept away the competition.

Olympic sprint champion Pendleton was one the Beijing stars in attendance at Revolution 23, where she won every event she took part in to sweep the board in the women's sprint omnium.

The sell-out crowd gave Pendleton a rousing reception, before witnessing her set a blistering pace in the flying 200-metre time trial. She then continued with wins in both sprint rounds, the 500-metre time trial and Keirin. Despite strong performances from Anna Blyth, Helen Scott, Jess Varnish and Spanish rider Helena Casa Roige, the rest of the field were fighting it out for second place in Pendleton's wake.
