Italian cycling star and double Giro d?Italia winner Gilberto Simoni, Discovery Channel's Yaroslav Popovych and sprint ace Jimmy Casper (Cofidis) are latest ProTour stars confirmed for the next round of Revolution at the Manchester Velodrome.

Simoni finished his road season early this year to ride competitively in mountain bike; so competitively that he was recently crowned Italian Marathon Mountain Bike Champion. The Italian star will now switch discipline again and make the trip to Manchester on November 18 to join Saunier Duval team-mate David Millar on the track.
