Laura Trott, Geraint Thomas and Ian Stannard will head a stellar line-up at round four of the Revolution Series, which takes place this Saturday, November 28.

The event will also see special guest Sir Chris Hoy at the velodrome that carries his name in Glasgow.

Six time Olympic champion Hoy is attending to give support to the HOY Future Stars, who will race as part of the programme. There are even rumours that Hoy could race, and we know that he's stayed in great shape despite being retired.

Thomas has form in Scotland's second city, which is where he won gold in the Commonwealth Games last year.

“I've got great memories of Glasgow from the Commonwealth Games on the road” he told Revolution.

“The Scottish fans are great and they are quite vocal so I'm expecting a real good atmosphere at Revolution”.

Thomas made his track return at round three in London. As ever he was popular with the crowd and even stopped off to sign autographs during the Longest Lap race.

Trott's main competition will come from home star and GB teammate Katie Archibald. Both are building towards the 2016 Rio Olympics and have shown the kind of form that will carry them to glory next summer.
