The Stars are coming out to play in the three day, four session event. Big guns from the road return to the track in a statement of intent, on the path to Rio 2016. None bigger than former Tour de France Winner, Sir Bradley Wiggins.

The Manx Missile, Mark Cavendish who recently road the track in Europe returns in the hope of a chance of Olympic glory, riding the Madison with Sir Brad, whilst regular Trackies Ed Clancy, Owain Doull and Mark Christian will want to stamp their authority on the event.

The competition in all disciplines are once more attracting huge European athletes. Tim Veldt, Kenny de Ketele, Francois Pervis, Hugo Haak but to name a few, with the Women’s Events attracting Jolien D’Hoore, Pascale Jeuland, Laurie Berthon and Sandie Clair.

Leading British Endurance Women include the darling of the track and the biggest crowd pleaser Laura Trott, with Katie Archibald, Joanna Rowsell Shand, Elinor Barker and Grace Garner. Competing for the Sprint glory will be Rebecca James, Jessica Varnish and Danielle Khan, whilst Shanaze Reade returns to put on a show.

 

FRIDAY EVENING SESSION:

Doors open at 18:00. Racing from 19:00 to 22:30.

 S tars were falling in more ways than one in the opening session of Revolution 52 in Derby. World Champion Sprinter Francois Pervis tumbled in a collision with Matt Rotherham late-on into the evening as the Revolution Longest Lap came to its conclusion.

Pervis had also been beating by fellow countryman Quentin Lefargue in the kilometer time trial, but surprise of the evening was Callum Skinner going one place better to top the leader board with a 1:01.135.

Crowd favorite Laura Trott road into third position in the opening race of the evening, the 3000m individual pursuit. Riding against a super strong Ciara Horne who’s shown consistent form over the Summer months on the road, pipped former National Champion Joanna Rowsell Shand in this qualifying session.

The pair locked horns again in the final play-off, but this time, Rowsell-Shand had the upper hand on Horne, producing another 03:37.

Another upset in the Women’s 500m Time Trial for the Sprinters, saw Katy Marchant taking the podium from Jess Varnish by a whisker. Youngster Danielle Khan claimed third with France’s Sandie Clair fourth.

The biggest attraction on the evening was of course, Sir Bradley Wiggin’s return to the Track. Riding in the four-man Team Pursuit, brought the crowd alive as the laps began counting down. Setting a qualifying time in first position, Great Britain was just shy of a sub four minute ride with a 04:00.324 going into the final with Youth Team 100% ME.

Substituting Jon Dibben for Ed Clancy in the podium play-off, saw the only sub four performance of the night with a 03:54.974. The Netherlands went on to beat Austria for the final placings.

 T he first Women’s Omnium event a forty lap Scratch Race, saw the first thirty laps run at a steady pace staying all together. With no one willing to commit early on the pace didn’t lift until around ten laps remaining.

As the race intensified, Ciara Horne attacked off the front of the pack with three laps to go, but faded in the final few hundred meters as the battle for the overall title began to take shape.

The crowd, already whipped up into a frenzy by Horne, we delighted to see Laura Trott cross the line first, with Jolien D’Hoore second and Laurie Berthon third in the bunch sprint.

A good start to Laura Trott’s Omnium campaign, but her biggest rivals were still looming within striking distance. The next event in this session will be the 3000m IP.

It wasn’t long before a six man break got free to take a lap, with Clancy & Cavendish making the move. Seeing the danger, De Ketele and two others joined the front of the race also gaining a lap.

De Ketele and Lisouski manage to gain another lap on the field in the chaos as the race drew to it’s conclusion, with Dibben going for a long solo victory to cross the line first.

 T he final round in the Women’s Omnium saw Trott & D’Hoore fighting for the remaining points on offer. Trott having won four of the previous five rounds led by six points going into the Points Race from Jolien D’Hoore. Pascale Jeuland, Katie Archibald and Laurie Berthon were next best placed.

With ten lots of five points for each sprint, everything was still to play for.

The race got off to a very sedate pace with no impetus until the first sprint with Poland’s Malgorzata Wojtyra taking maximum points. Trott managed a third place and increased her lead slightly.

Trott took the next five points and D’Hoore was second over the line. Emily Kay, whom picked up fourth in the sprint kept her speed up and attacked off the front, Leire Olaberria joined her. The bunch picked up their pace for the first time since the start, but soon dropped it again after a couple of laps and the pair had gone back into the pack.

On the run up to the third sprint, Trott injected a bit of pace once more, D’Hoore and Berthon went by her over the line with Kay picking up the final points.

It was Archibald’s turn to turn the heat up, and this split the peloton for the first time. Trott was in the front train, but they came back together with around sixty-four laps remaining.

Kay once again injected pace taking maximum points, D’Hoore then Trott, then Archibald.

Spain’s Leire Olaberria chanced an attack off the front, but her effort wasn’t sufficient to break free.

Ireland’s Lydia Boyland had a sneaky attack off the front to gain a lap. This time the bunch let her dangle midway around the track, where she stayed to collect maximum points. D’Hoore sprinted in-front of Trott twice again, but this wouldn’t be enough to claim the overall victory.

The pace picked up once more as the peloton became active. Boyland went off the front again. This time it was Archibald that began to reel her back, but not before she had claimed her third set of maximum points in a row. Trott next, then D’Hoore mopping up the rest of the points, leaving only three sprints left.

Archibald gets the next sprint, with Jeuland, Kay and D’Hoore the final place. Trott misses out with two sprints remaining.

D’Hoore goes a lap before the penultimate sprint, but Trott’s not having any of that. Steaming around the final bend, Trott takes the penultimate sprint. The crowd are elated. Trott has five points advantage going into the final sprint.

Closing the competition in second place, Jolien D’Hoore takes the final sprint in style from Trott. But there wasn’t enough points left for her to take the victory from Laura Trott.

It took a number of cool down laps for Trott to regain her breath back. D’Hoore had pushed her to the limit. Once the colours had returned to her cheeks, the flowers were given over and several circuits of the track were appreciated by the audience.
