Revolution!

Had a fun time in Manchester yesterday at the Revolution night.

Almost all of the British team were out and flat-out racing, apart from the injured Hoy, still recovering from his recent tumble, who turned up late to pay respects to Arnault Tournant, whose last race this was.

It was a long day as it started with the national madison champs - at 5pm - and ran til about 10.30pm, with GB just about winning the team sprint against France.

There's a selection of photos on Flickr on the link below including a couple of characters we know all too well ...
