Cavendish Storms to Scratch Race Victory on Return to Revolution
A packed house at the National Cycling Centre in Manchester witnessed Mark Cavendish’s return to the track for the first time since the 2009 World Championships. The sold-out Revolution 34 had an electric atmosphere, with Team UK Youth flourishing and leaping to a commanding lead in the Revolution Championship on the night.
The night for Revolution 34 belonged to these two, Rob Hayles (interview with Rob) got a great send off in front of his wife and family and Mark Cavendish was idolised by the huge crowd… it was a very special Revolution, probably the best yet!

This Revolution featured one of the strongest endurance line up in recent times. The opening event of the night saw Steven Burke of Team UK Youth pull out an impressive win in the Motor Paced Scratch Endurance Race.
Rapha Condor Sharp’s Ed Clancy and Andrew Tennant were victorious in the 1km Madison Time Trial, with the team also taking the spoils in the Team Elimination race.
Team Sky’s Peter Kennaugh won the intriguing Australian Pursuit. But it was the Scratch Race which really got the crowd going; early breaks by Team Sky’s Geraint Thomas and Alex Dowsett looked promising, but World Champion Mark Cavendish positioned himself perfectly to execute a win from the front.
There was a huge crowd around the building waiting to get in and as they waited, Ned Boulting went to interview a few. Don’t miss the programme on ITV4 on Monday night at 7.
In a poignant moment at the National Cycling Centre, the historic career of Revolution-favourite Rob Hayles was recognised, with the recently-retired British rider receiving a standing ovation from the 4,000-strong crowd. Hayles was joined by the elite riders and friend Mark Cavendish, who showed their appreciation to a fantastic career.
There was no doubt who the fans were most excited to see at Revolution 34, with Mark Cavendish getting the huge crowds out of their seats time and again. Speaking on his return to the track, Cavendish said: “It’s good to be back, I’ve missed it! The Revolution was hard; more intense than what I’m used to at this time of year. The reception I had was amazing. It’s packed here again tonight, and it’s great.â€
Cavendish continued: “It’s nice to race at your home velodrome. It all started off here, so it’s good to come back.â€
Iljo Keisse and Mark Cavendish play for the crowd behind the derny in the first race.
In the Revolution Sprint Omnium, David Daniell continued his form from Revolution 33 and took the win. He also took an emphatic victory at the final event, the 500m Time Trial.
In the DHL Future Stars, Emily Kay further-proved her dominance in the Girls’ event, and maintains her overall lead. In the Boys’ events, Jake Ragen moved up the standings and took the overall lead.
Team UK Youth’s win from Steven Burke and consistent performances throughout the night means that they lead the Revolution Championship with 314 points, ahead of Rouleur with 293.
Those who missed Revolution 34 will be able to watch the hour-long highlights packaged, featuring Mark Cavendish, shown on Monday 21st November on ITV4 at 7pm.
Team Sky practising their lead out for their new lead sprinter in 2012?
Team Youth’s Steven Burke was in great form winning the first race… it’s probably because of the boot camp the Men’s Team Pursuit Squad have at the moment!
Andy Tennnant, on his ‘b52’ Condor bike leads Ed Clancy in the Kilo madison which they won.
David Daniel was in great form, winning all the timed events and seen here beating Pete Mitchell in a round of the sprint omnium.
Geraint Thomas was in great form, giving Peter Kennaugh a great push in the Australian Pursuit, and then ‘walking the line’ while signing autographs!
Pete Kennaugh turned out a great pursuit to win the Aussie Pursuit for his team
Best sprint of the night, Matt Crampton beats David Daniell in the Sprint final
Emily Kay continued her great run in the Future Stars girls …
Rob Hayles is given a great send off by riders and crowd alike and deservedly so! There’ll only ever be one Rob ‘Killer’ Hayles!
Mark Cavendish wins the final race of the night, in a sprint naturally!
Team UK Youth were in great form on the night and look out for them in 2012 on the road! One luck raffle ticket holder got the frame which won Paris-Roubaix… wow!
