Sir Chris Hoy secured a double victory at the opening Revolution event of the season – but the four-time Olympic gold medallist was unable to prevent his Scottish team sprint trio losing.

Hoy, who added sprint, team sprint and Keirin gold at the Beijing Olympic to his kilo gold from Athens, went head-to-head with 20-year-old David Daniell in the sprint final in Manchester.  

And Hoy’s experience and power proved too much for Daniell, who claimed a silver medal in the Keirin at the recent Commonwealth Games, while Matt Crampton won the losers’ six lap dash.

Jason Kenny, part of the team sprint trio in Beijing, looked like he had the Keirin sewn up when the motorcycle peeled off with two-and-a-half laps to go.

But Hoy produced a superb late surge to chase down Kenny and pip the 22-year-old on the line.

While Hoy was unbeatable as a lone force, his Scottish team sprint trio, which also included Olympic Keirin silver medallist Ross Edgar and Chris Pritchard, fell to up-and-coming English stars Kenny, Crampton and Daniell.

World Omnium champion and Olympic team pursuit gold medallist Ed Clancy continued to build upon his reputation with victory in the 15km points race to complement his earlier victory with Steven Burke in the 1km Madison time trial.

Chris Newton capped his last competitive track appearance by winning the motor paced scratch race. The 2002 points world champion will now take up his role as the new Great Britain Academy coach.

Team Sky lead the team competition after round one with 10 points, while Maxgear are second and on eight and Le Col third on seven.  

In the DHL Future Stars events, Matt Cross won the points race, Matt Rotherham took the six lap dash and Sam Lowe was victorious in the 5km scratch race.

Jess Crampton claimed the girls 5km scratch race, while Emily Kay triumphed in both the points race and six lap dash.
