Bradley Wiggins will be making a return to the boards at the Revolution event on 5th December at Manchester Velodrome. A capacity crowd will be treated to the sight of Britain’s best endurance rider revisiting his track roots after his sensational fourth place finish at the Tour de France this year.

A regular feature at previous Revolution Series, Wiggins will be making a star appearance for Craig MacLean’s team, the Slicks, and will be the favourite to pull in the points over the longer distances.

Joining Wiggins on the Slicks team will be German six-day star and team pursuit specilalist Leif Lampater, who recently finished third in the Munich ‘Six’. This intimidating pairing will make the Slicks the team to beat on the night, and will enhance an already strong endurance line-up at the December meeting.

“This will be my first Revolution so I’m pretty excited and want to do well for the team,” Lampater told us. “It’s going to be great riding on the same team as Bradley Wiggins, as I’m sure the British crowd will all be cheering for the Slicks!”

Two other Revolution teams, the Rollers and Tempo, will also be boosted by the return of their respective captains Chris Newton and Ed Clancy, back from Team GB duty in Melbourne. Their World Cup commitments ruled Clancy and Newton out of the opening Revolution event and both riders will be eager to lead their teams by example on their return. The crowd can expect some fierce competition between these popular captains.
