CHRIS HOY AT FUTURE REVOLUTION
28/08/07
Chris Hoy has been one of the stars of the main Revolution racing at the event since the beginning back in 2003.
The Olympic Champion will be back racing in season 5 but will first make a guest appearance at Future Revolution to support our junior riders.
Chris will also take part in an exhibition race to spice up the action and provide the riders and spectators some of the entertainment that can be seen at the main Revolution Series.
"It will be fantastic to have Chris at the Future Revolution" commented organiser James Pope. "He has always been a crowd pleaser at the main Revolution so it will be good to have him at the Newport Velodrome for the first Future Revolution."
"He is a great inspiration" Pope continued. "So it will be such a bonus to have him there to support our Junior riders and maybe get involved in the action himself".
