Olympic Pursuit Champion Bradley Wiggins makes his return to track racing at the Manchester Velodrome on November 17.

The British track star has always been a firm favourite at the Revolution 18 event and is always guaranteed to provide plenty of action.

Revolution 18 will certainly provide plenty of opportunity for Wiggins to test his form with a programme focussed on some serious endurance racing against some of the world top six day specialists.

The event also comes a few days before the start of the Ghent Six, which Wiggins will ride with T-Mobile team mate Mark Cavendish, so expect all the riders to have honed their track skills and be ready to challenge each other ahead of the action in Belgium.

One of the international riders already lined up to challenge Wiggins is recent Amsterdam six day winner Iljo Keisse. Keisse first made an appearance at Revolution back in 2004 riding with Matt Gilmore.

Following his victory in Amsterdam last week Keisse is now firmly established as one of the top six day specialists and will be one of the favourites for the racing at Revolution.

The Cycling Revolution

Revolution was created in 2003 by Face Partnership and the Manchester Velodrome to provide a new style of cycling event in the UK, a style that would increase spectator appeal and change the way people think about the sport.

With the creation of an action packed alternative race programme featuring international road and track stars presented with a slick, modern style the Cycling Revolution was born.

The racing is fast and the atmosphere is electrifying with music and lighting effects creating a superb night of entertainment for cycling and non-cycling fans alike.

The Revolution is now getting ready for its fifth season and with more star riders and a unique feel to each event it continues to attract capacity crowds to the Manchester Velodrome.

Revolution is already laying the foundations for the future with its future stars series and with the new Future Revolution event at the Newport Velodrome and Revolution Australia in Melbourne the Revolution is only getting bigger.
