Great night of action at Revolution 10

Report from Phil Ingham, Photos & Interviews from Larry Hickmott

1 Team Elimination Elite
The evening began with a rousing Elite Team Elimination, effectively a Madison Devil, with one team being eliminated every other lap. Run off at cracking pace, when the bell rang it came down to a straight sprint between Brad Wiggins (left with team-mate Chris Newton) and Dutch star Danny Stam. Stam surged past Wiggins in the back straight, only for Brad to slip it up a gear and snatch the win on the line, to the obvious delight of the crowd.

2 Revolution Sprint – Round 1 Elite
The first round of the sprint saw some great battles. Matt Crampton won the first heat in impressive fashion from Barbados rider Ricardo Lynch. Crampton is a hugely improved athlete who now puts one in mind of a young Chris Hoy and he’s beginning the assume the confidence and control of the Scot.

Others to go through from the first heat included Ross Edgar, Craig MacLean and German visitor Rene Wolff, who did well to overcome the orchestrated attentions of Scots Chris Hoy and Marco Librizzi, who unsuccessfully tried to box the former world champion in. The two Jasons, Queally and Kenny, were more successful in disposing of another German legend, Jan Van Eijden: when Queally struck for home with almost two laps to go, Kenny moved up as if to go round him, boxing Van Eijden in. Kenny resolutely stuck to his line, despite the much larger rider’s attempts to force him up the track and by the time Van Eijden had worked himself free, it was too late and he had to concede the win to Queally.

3 Women's Devil Endurance Elite
Nicole Cooke (pictured) set her stall out for an evening of no-compromise racing with a dominant win in the first women’s race. Sitting at the head of the field, she controlled the pace from lap one and seemed confident that by sitting on the front throughout she could eliminate all the threat of her rivals.

And she was absolutely correct. Front running is always the best tactic in the Devil, but it does require strength, both of body and mind, to execute. In the end Cooke’s surging sprint took her clear of the other two survivors, Lorna Webb, who finished third, and Czech rider Jarmila Marchacova, one of two visitors from the UCI school of cycling, who finished second.

4 Boys Future Stars Scratch Race - 5km Future Stars
An early crash, which brought down two riders, seemed to settle the Future Stars Boy’s field and from then on they went on to produce a very quick Scratch race. The Isle of Man’s Peter Kennaugh had been the star of the October Revolution meeting and he again stamped his authority on the racing, chasing down dangerous breaks and in the end powering clear to take the win from Barclay and Wolfenden.

5 Girls Devil Endurance Future Stars
Watching Nicole Cooke doing a demolition job on the Women’s field clearly inspired her fellow Welshwomen Katie Curtis and Alex Greenfield and they looked impressive in the first Girls Future Stars’ race, the Devil. Curtis did much of the hard work, sitting on the front for long periods keeping the pace high, to negate the sprinting talents of Jessic Varnish, and at the death it was Greenfield who took the win from Sarah Reynolds, with Curtis third.

6 Revolution Sprint – Semi-Finals Elite
The Sprint semi-finals were contrasting races: in the first Rene Wolff won by the skin of his teeth against the contrasting talents of Jason Queally, who again utilised his Kilo endurance and went for home from a long way out and Matt Crampton who chose a more robust style going shoulder to shoulder with the German. All three crossed the line within an ace of each other and only after a tense wait did Wolff get the nod and proceed to the final. The second semi came down to a clash of the Scots, with Ross Edgar powering clear with a lap to go, only for Craig MacLean to show that he is truly back to his best as he gained perhaps three lengths on his rival in the last three-quarters of a lap to take the win.

7 Points Race - 10km Elite
Andy Tennant (pictured right) showed off his considerable talents with a dominating performance in this team Points race. Ably assisted by team-mate, fellow Junior Ian Stannard, he won two of the sprints, including the final dash for the line and was second in another.

Tennant reminds one a little of Wiggins or perhaps even David Millar in his style: he seems to have their endless reserves of speed and endurance and if he doesn't have a blistering sprint, he cruises at such speed that he is extremely difficult to pass when he's focused on winning. Actually, the whole race was something of a celebration of Britain's exceptional batch of young riders who are just finishing their last year as juniors, with Steven Burke --; who rode the junior worlds team pursuit with Tennant and Stannard -- winning the first sprint. An even younger rider, Adam Blythe, also scored in two of the sprints.

8 Women's Scratch Race - 8km Elite
The women's 8km Scratch Race was a full-blooded affair, with concerted efforts from several riders to pressure Nicole Cooke and isolate her. Nikki Harris made several aggressive, surging moves at the front of the field, almost wiping Lizzy Armistead out on one occasion with her commendable, if a little reckless, determination. Kate Cullen and Amy Hunt were also notable animators, braking clear together at one point and forcing Cooke to chase them down. Despite all this attention, when the final wind-up came, it was Cooke one again who was forcing the pace and she pulled clear to win from the impressive Marchacova, with Cullen a well-deserved third. There was a scare at the end when Nikki Harris crashed on the back straight and landed badly on her head. However, Harris's years of mountain biking have toughened her up and she was soon on her feet again, shrugging off the attentions of the medical staff and heading back to the pits to prepare for the next race.

9 Revolution Sprint losers - 5 Lap Dash Elite
This was something of a demonstration race for Matt Crampton, who looked on a different level to the rest of the field. He bided his time and then moved with a lap and half to go and rapidly pulled clear to win by some three lengths.

10 Revolution Sprint – Final Elite
MacLean verses Wolff was the final the fans really wanted to see and the muscular duo duly served up a great little race. For a lap they eyed each other closely at walking pace, did a brief stand-still and then with two laps to go suddenly accelerated, with Wolff leading it out and trying to catch out MacLean. The Scot was having none of it, though, having worked his way up the banking he used this height to aid his acceleration and he was soon on the German's wheel. Going down the back straight he started to come round his rival and looked initially as if he had left it too late, but a final burst round the last corner brought his alongside and the pair crossed the line absolutely side-by-side. 'Photo-finish' flashed the scoreboard. However, the riders seemed to know who had won, with Wolff acknowledging MacLean as the winner and, as so often in these cases, the riders were right.

11 Boys Future Stars 1 Mile Dash Future Stars
Peter Kennaugh started this race as hot favourite and he covered the early moves in a frantic-paced event with some ease. However, being a favourite often means that the whole field are on your case and, perhaps inevitably, the one break he didn't mark proved to be the race-winner: with two laps to go, Jason Crombie launched a well-timed attack, just as an earlier break was pulled back. He quickly gained half a dozen lengths. The field responded, held him there for half a lap and then looked like bringing him back. However, to his credit, Crombie stuck to his task and finally the field seemed to accept the inevitable, leaving him to come home almost half a straight clear, with Rhys Lloyd taking second and Kennaugh third.

12 1Km Madison Time Trial Elite
By previous standards, this event didn't produce any really stunning times, but it was incredibly close, with Matthew Gilmore and Iijo Keisse taking the win and failing by just 55 thousandths of a second to dip under the minute. Less than nine tenths of a second separated the seven teams, with Magnus Backstedt and Tony Gibb grabbing second place with a time of 1 minute 00.361 seconds.

13 Girls Future Stars Scratch Race - 5km Future Stars
Once again the Welsh girls showed the field how to boss a race with more strong riding from Katie Curtis and Lucy Richards in particular. They knew that perhaps the biggest danger they faced was the finishing powers of Jessica Varnish, the national age-group sprint champion and they set out again to keep the pace high to test her endurance. It all paid off handsomely in the closing stages as the impressively strong Richards moved clear to take the win from Curtis, with Greta Junker third and Varnish fourth. There was a nasty looking crash going into the South Curve in the closing laps, with Mid-Shropshire Wheelers Lucy Marin staying face down on the in-field for a time, but she did eventually get to her feet and looked no more than shaken as she walked back to the pits, to the relief of everyone watching.

14 Revolution Keirin Elite
Matt Crampton again showed his developing skills with another emphatic win over the second string sprinters in the Revolution Keirin. He was simply too strong for the rest and rode to the front with some ease in the closing lap to win by a couple of lengths from Barbados's Riccardo Lynch. Jason Kenny was third and again looked well able to handle himself in the confrontational sprinting environment, despite still being a junior and lacking the stature of some of his rivals.

15 Women's Points Race - 7km Elite
The big news from this race was that Nicole Cooke got beaten in a sprint. But before you reach for the smelling salts, it was only the second sprint of three in this truncated points race and she was second to Kate Cullen. She won the other two --- including the final lap gallop and won the race by a clear eight points, finishing on 13, with Cullen, Marchacova and Lorna Webb all collecting five. It says much for Cooke's competitive nature that she simply can't give anything less than one hundred percent.

It's perhaps her defining characteristic which, allied to her athletic ability, makes her such a formidable rider. Of the other riders in the field, young Marchacova impressed all night with her ability to hold the front of the race, whilst Kate Cullen now looks a very good all-round track rider. Former mountain bike specialists Nikki Harris and Amy Hunt impressed in contrasting ways: Harris with her strength and power; Hunt with her ability to ghost into good positions as if from nowhere. Both look like good bets for future stardom on the Track.

16 Madison Pursuit Elite
This was a great opportunity to put the Madison World Champions, Rob Hayles and Mark Cavendish (pictured right earlier in the evening), up against perhaps the best Madison pairing of recent years, Slippens and Stam, and check out their respective talents. The race was ridden like a Madison, with only one rider of each pair racing at a time and with hand-sling changes.

The Dutch pairing got off to the slicker start and with Cavendish a little subdued, as he was all night, perhaps understandably after his recent nasty crash, it looked like the Brits were going to get a beating. However, Hayles had been looking good all night and when on form he's a formidable pursuiter (Silver and Bronze in the World Pursuit championships in previous years). With Cavendish working hard in support, Hayles really turned up the wick in the closing laps and was almost in the same straight as Slippens and Stam by the end, with the margin of victory for the GB boys an emphatic 3.7 seconds.

17 Boys Future Stars Devil Future Stars
The Isle of Man's Peter Kennaugh made no mistake in this race, stretching his lead at the head of the Future Stars’ league and demolishing the field in the Devil. Rhys Lloyd was the only rider to really challenge, but when Kennaugh went for it in the final sprint, Lloyd could only grimly hold his wheel and look to limit the size of the victory. Mountain Bike ace Tom Skubala rode a canny race for third.

18 Revolution Invitation Keirin Elite
The Germans looked to have worked a tactically perfect race when they rode en-masse over the top of the Scottish trio Hoy, Edgar and MacLean as the Derney pulled off with two and half laps to go. However, Ross Edgar then put on a startling turn of speed and dragged Chris Hoy (pictured) into contention around the outside. Hoy then burst out of the slipstream of Edgar to take the sprint win, with crowd on its feet, acknowledging the most exciting finish of the night. Edgar even held on to take second.

19 Girls Future Stars 1 Mile Dash Future Stars
Lucy Richards wrapped up a night of personal triumph by winning a big bunch sprint for the line at the end of a quick mile dash. Richards held off Jessica Varnish, who took second to end an evening where she won nothing, but rode well and influenced every race. Richards is now well clear at the head of the Girls Future Stars league and it will take some bold riding by her rivals in the next two meetings if she is not to win the competition. She and the rest of the Welsh girls look very fit and well drilled on the Track.

21 Madison - 20km Elite
The showcase event of the evening was always going to be the big Madison and it turned out to be a great spectacle. Taking laps on a 250 metre track is never easy and the best way to do it is with a couple of other teams. With the points scoring sprints not coming until the later laps, gaining a lap was the sole focus of the teams in the early stages and, after some preliminary jockeying, the teams of Hayles and Cavendish, Gilmore and Keisse, Slippens and Stam and Newton and Wiggins broke clear and quickly stole that all-important march on the rest of the field. With the pace high, that seemed like the end of the action till the sprints, but the youthful pairing of Stannard and Tennant again showed their ability and guts as they then surged away and gained a lap of their own, unaided.

A really decisive move then came, with the Hayles and Cavendish and Wiggins and Newton pairings snatching a second lap. With the focus then changing to point scoring, the first sprint went to Newton and Wiggins, who took the five points. Cavendish and Hayles also scored well in the first two sprints, the race began to wind up for the finish with these two teams locked together. And so, with both teams a lap clear of the rest and with Wiggins and Newton on 5 points and Hayles and Cavendish on four, everything had to be decided on the final sprint.

At this point, with only a handful of laps to go, Rob Hayles (pictured) grabbed the initiative and attacked. Hayles looked in form all evening and this was a committed move. With Cavendish battling through his turns, Wiggins and Newton were left with no option but to chase. Newton was clearly not at his best, but with Hayles almost out of sight, Wiggins put in a great late surge which had the crowd on their feet. However, not only was Hayles riding like a man possessed, but the luck was with him too, as Wiggins was twice forced wide whilst passing slower teams. Hayles duly took the final sprint some lengths clear to snatch the vital five points, enabling his team to win by just a single point. Wiggins -- who showed real pride in his performance -- and Newton took second.

22 GB v Germany Team Sprint Elite
What a way to end the evening -- the World champions against the Olympic champions! And it was a titanic battle, with Craig MacLean’s stunning opening lap giving the Brits a half-second buffer, which they had extended to 1.8 seconds at the finish. The Germans gave it everything, but with MacLean, Queally and Hoy all looking in great shape ahead of next months World Cup, they simply met their match.

And that wrapped up an evening which had just about everything and set up the World Cup beautifully. The crowd -- which amounted to pretty much a full-house --; went out into the freezing Manchester night buzzing. The next Revolution is on 21 January. The World Cup is on 9-11 December.

Spot Interviews with Mark Cavendish & Jan van Eijden

Mark Cavendish: After their awesome Madison Victory, I spoke to Mark Cavendish who has had a tough debut in the Professional the Sixes and said on his home track it was all so different to the Sixes? "Me personally, I am better at one day racing and I am sure Rob is" he replied.

Mark added that the young guys came to Manchester and wanted to make an impression with the six day stars and found out what they up against. Mark now has to get ready for his final six day in Gent and will be spending a few days just turning the legs over before what promises to be the toughest Six day of the season for him and Rob Hayles. Read a full interview with Mark and Rob by clicking here…

Jan Van Eijden:It's always a pleasure talking to this laugh a minute German who has had a lot of success at Manchester - World Kilo title in 1996 and World Sprint title in 2000. "It was my second time at the Revolution and it was a good atmosphere again. Unfortunately my condition was not that good because I am just in training for the World Cup in Los Angeles and now I try to prepare myself for the Japanese Manchester Keirin in three weeks."

"It is lovely to come over here - the British riders are really friendly and really fun. The crowd are really fair and support the rider if they see good sport on the track."

Asked how he enjoyed his races, "'They kick our ass I think you say' in the Team Sprint because I am not a starter and am not anymore a Team Sprinter. I just concentrate on the Keirin now and Chris Hoy, he is in shape all the time and Jason Queally for his age is phenomenal!".

"It is a lovely track too, it's really fast and the corners have a good deep banking which makes it really good to race"

We look forward to seeing Jan return soon for the big money Japanese Keirin.
