The likes of Rob Hayles, Chris Newton, Geraint Thomas and Magnus Backstedt will all be well accustomed to racing in front of capacity crowds. For the Future Stars, this is a unique opportunity to prove their ability to supporters, team managers and British Cycling coaches.
There are two Future Stars leagues for both boys and girls; each region selects a team and riders race for their region. Riders will accumulate individual points for the overall DHL Future Stars champion title, as well as gaining points for the overall team prize. Each round of the Revolution contains Scratch, Points and 1 Mile Dash races meaning a strong, versatile team is necessary for success.
The series is always hotly contested and with great rivalry between many of the riders, it's a chance to show your hard work on the track over the summer months.
The Girl's league showcases medal winners from the recent National Track Championships, Halesowen rider Jess Booth is the reigning Pursuit champion and is certainly a name to look out for. Corinne Hall is the National Points champion while Laura Trott can also parade a National Championship jersey from the U16 Road Circuit race. Sportcity Velo rider, Katie Fearnehough will be lurking and looking to build on some 3rd places achieved during Revolution 16.
Expect the big names to be at the front of the action but don't discount lesser-known riders looking for the opportunist win.
