2 Revolution Sprint
– Round 1 Elite 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.
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

– Semi-Finals Elite
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

- 7km Elite 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.
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

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.

Sprint Elite 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.
