THE CURRENT Revolution Series is just weeks away from its Round Five conclusion at – for the first time – the Lee Valley Velodrome, aka the London 2012 Olympics velodrome. It’s a fitting venue for the FACE Partnership-
“We’re getting the chance to set the
standard at the velodrome.”

organised track race series. After all it has seen the likes of Sir Chris Hoy, Sir Bradley Wiggins, Mark Cavendish MBE, Victoria Pendleton CBE and Marianne Vos ride it over the past decade – the Revolution Series celebrated its tenth anniversary last November, days away from the Second Round in Glasgow. Despite putting the finishing touches on the
event in the final weeks before Round Five, FACE boss James Pope took time out to speak with BikeBiz about the Revolution. “It’s the first event in the Lee Valley
Velodrome since the Olympics. It’s a nice finale for the Series and we’re getting the chance to set the standard in the venue post-Olympics. We’ll be making the most of it. “It’s great to make the Revolution Series
more national too. We started in Manchester, headed up to Glasgow and now we’re coming down to London. It’s all shaping up nicely.”
