The Revolution Series returned for it\u2019s 15th season with a three round event starting at the Lee Valley Velodrome in London before heading across the border to the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow and finishing finally at the Home of Cycling in Manchester at the HSBC British Cycling National Cycling Centre.<\/p>\n

A star studded first round saw the likes of Ben Swift (UAE) and Dani Rowe (WM3) return to the track whilst Revolution favourites Christian Grassmann (Maloja Pushbikers) and former road champion Amalie Dideriksen (Boels Dolmans) continued their Winter Programme before starting all again in the New Year.<\/p>\n

There were plenty of home grown trackies back for more revolutions on the boards at Lee Valley and Olympic Champion Katie Archibald (Team WNT) and Ed Clancy MBE (JTL Condor) were back to show their craft over a 2 session event beginning a one o\u2019clock in the afternoon before concluding to a packed audience in the evening.<\/p>\n

There was no stopping Katie Archibald in the Women\u2019s Elite events winning 4 out of 5 races starting with the Points Race. A slight hiccup in the Elimination Race that Dideriksen won, Team WNT were the one\u2019s to beat leading the standings ahead of Boels Dolmans.<\/p>\n
Boels Dolmans Amelia Dideriksen track season so far said \u201cI continued straight after the road and did the first two World Cups (Tissott UCI TWC) and podiumed in them both, so I was really pleased with that. I had some time off and took a vacation. Now I\u2019m here and start training again.\u201d Amalie went on to say \u201cI won\u2019t be doing any more World Cups but I plan on doing the World Championships.<\/p>\n
The level is getting higher, it\u2019s tough competition \u2013 but it\u2019s fun.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m back on the road after the World Championships but I don\u2019t know which races I will be doing yet or have a final plan \u2013 but I think it will be nice.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
 <\/p>\n
A strong performance by former Future Star Ellie Russell (NCC Group-Kuota \u2013 Torelli) in the Elimination Scratch Race in her first Elite season showed promise as she continues her cycling career finishing 2nd ahead of Rachel Barbieri (Team Rowe & King) and Elinor Barker (Matrix Fitness).<\/p>\n

Another former Future Star progressing into the Elite Racing this season was Anna Docherty (Team Jadan-Weldtite) taking the race to the big names. Not wanting to contest a bunch sprint Docherty set off in the final half-dozen laps of the Scratch Race as the rest of the riders watched each other and gained a half lap. But it wasn\u2019t to be on this occasion getting swallowed up with a lap remaining.<\/p>\n
Team Jadan \u2013 Weldtite p\/b Vive le Velo\u2019s Anna Docherty spent the last 3 seasons in the Future Star Championship said \u201cIt\u2019s been a big step up but it\u2019s really good and it\u2019s been really fast, but I enjoy it\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
 <\/p>\n
The Revolution Madison Time Trial is a target for many an Elite rider and the Women had their chance to set the quickest time in London. Archibald and team mate Hayley Jones were the quickest with a 1.01.30 a second ahead of their nearest rivals Team Pedalsure.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>

It was return of the dynamic duo Clancy and (Jon) Mould to set the quickest time for JLT Condor in the Elite Madison Time Trial. No one was able to match their dominating performance of recent years setting a 54.710 ahead of 100%ME at 55.824.<\/p>\n
Making their debut on the Revolution Stage, Cycle Team OnForm, NCC Group-Kuota-Torelli and Storey Racing were testing their legs on the track after a successful domestic season on the road. Joining them too were Boompods EDCO Continental Velo8 and Inspired to bring a total of twelve Women\u2019s Teams mirroring the growth of Women\u2019s Elite Cycle Racing on the road in 2017.<\/p>\n
Consistency proved the winning formula in the Elite events with Inspired\u2019s Ethan Hayter winning the Elimination Scratch Race and team mate Fred Wright scoring high too, leaving last years winners JLT Condor 5 points behind after round 1.<\/p>\n
Ella Barnwell & James Codd have set their stalls out in the Future Star Championships going into round 2 in Glasgow next weekend where the racing resumes before a break for Christmas. Once the New Year is out of the way the final comes quickly on January 6th in Manchester.<\/p>\n
