Revolution creates new championship format

IMG_7755

The Revolution Championship will see Future Stars, sprinters and endurance riders racing as part of a team. Young talent will get the chance to join heroes such as Chris Hoy and Mark Cavendish as both Future Stars and elite riders accumulate team points across championship track cycling races at each event.

The Championship will create a whole new dimension to the Series but James Pope from event organiser FACE is quick to assure spectators that the programme will continue to provide the excitement and entertainment that has made Revolution such as success,

"The new championship will slot neatly into the existing race programme," confirmed Pope. "The races will make up about half the programme so the rest of the action will be made up of the usual Revolution events with head to heads and feature races providing plenty of entertainment for the audience."

"The format sounds really exciting," Hayles said. "It will be fantastic for the young riders to be part of a team alongside the big names; I know it would have been a real inspiration for me when I was a young rider. I just hope I can pass on enough wisdom to help my team to compete for the title."
