Revolution_graphic_withlogo_2Revolution series tickets go on sale next Friday
Tickets for this winter’s Revolution track racing series will go on sale next Friday, Jul 26, organisers have announced.
The series kicks off in Manchester on October 26 and ends in a grand finale at the London Olympic velodrome in Lee Valley Velopark on March 15. The London event will include a night session as well as the usual afternoon and evening racing.
There will be five rounds of this year’s series and for the first time the Revolution events will be categorised as Class 1 by cycling’s governing body, the UCI.
FACE Partnership MD James Pope said: "There will be three elements to every Revolution Series event. The Elite Championship, the UCI-sanctioned racing, and the Future Stars.
"The Elite Championship remains the centrepiece of the Revolution Series. World-class riders will compete at the evening session at every round as they battle for the Elite Championship.
"The UCI-sanctioned racing is different but no less important. A high calibre of riders be vying for World Cup qualification points as they pursue their ultimate goal of riding at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
"Thirdly, the Future Stars will continue to provide a competitive environment for the brightest young track cyclists in Britain. We can't wait to see the next Steven Burke or Peter Kennaugh [previous winners] emerge from this unique competition."
How to get tickets
Priority booking will be available to fans who register with Quay tickets. This will get you an email with a link to buy tickets on the morning of Friday July 26, several hours before they go on general sale.
British Cycling members and previous Revolution Series customers can buy tickets from Wednesday morning onwards, two days ahead of the general release.
Full ticket and pricing information is available on the Revolution website.

John has been writing about bikes and cycling for over 30 years since discovering that people were mug enough to pay him for it rather than expecting him to do an honest day's work.
He was heavily involved in the mountain bike boom of the late 1980s as a racer, team manager and race promoter, and that led to writing for Mountain Biking UK magazine shortly after its inception. He got the gig by phoning up the editor and telling him the magazine was rubbish and he could do better. Rather than telling him to get lost, MBUK editor Tym Manley called John’s bluff and the rest is history.
Since then he has worked on MTB Pro magazine and was editor of Maximum Mountain Bike and Australian Mountain Bike magazines, before switching to the web in 2000 to work for CyclingNews.com. Along with road.cc founder Tony Farrelly, John was on the launch team for BikeRadar.com and subsequently became editor in chief of Future Publishing’s group of cycling magazines and websites, including Cycling Plus, MBUK, What Mountain Bike and Procycling.
John has also written for Cyclist magazine, edited the BikeMagic website and was founding editor of TotalWomensCycling.com before handing over to someone far more representative of the site's main audience.
He joined road.cc in 2013. He lives in Cambridge where the lack of hills is more than made up for by the headwinds.
