Two-time scratch race world champion Alex Rasmussen and Saxo Bank team-mate Michael Morkov will join an all-star international line-up for the next round of the Revolution Series on November 20.
Rasmussen and Morkov, both part of Denmark’s silver medaling winning team pursuit quartet at the Beijing Olympics, will be joined by six day stars Franco Marvulli, Leif Lampater, Christian Grassmann and Sebastian Donadio in one of the strongest endurance line-ups in Revolution’s history.
“The endurance field at the next Revolution will be one of the strongest we’ve had at an event,” said event director James Pope.
“Morkov and Rasmussen are a class act so we’re expecting them to make an immediate impact on the championship.
“With such an exciting and attacking field of international riders, joined with the calibre of British riders, Revolution 30 is set to be a display of endurance brilliance.”
Rasmussen’s claimed his second world scratch triumph this year to add to double world titles in the Madison and team pursuit, which he won with Morkov, in 2009.
Revolution will see the pair come face-to-face with the current junior Madison champions Simon Yates and Dan McLay as well as a strong British contingent including 2005 world Madison champion Rob Hayles and Commonwealth Games time trial silver medalist and recent Team Sky signing Alex Dowsett.
The competition will also be boosted by the return of Team Sky’s endurance stars and several top British Academy riders.
