Longest Lap at Revolution Series London February 2015 (copyright Simon MacMichael)Video: Revolution Series signs off with another "longest lap"
Back in October, when we posted an article about a bizarre track race from the United States called the Marymoor Crawl, we had no idea that it would turn into one of the most memorable events of this season's Revolution Series, which finished on Saturday in Manchester.
But that's exactly what happened, with event organisers FACE Partnership spotting our post and deciding to trial the format - to such success that it has quickly become a crowd pleasing addition to the programme.
What's more, something that began as an event at a regional track meet in Redmond, Washington State in the Pacific North West of the United States now regularly features, thanks to the adoption of it by the Revolution Series, world and Olympic champions from Great Britain and elsewhere.
On Saturday, Manchester saw the final staging of the race this season; sit back and enjoy the video.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

I was there - it was great!
Am I the only one that finds this an incredible bore?
What are the rules regarding someone banging in to you and knocking you out?
Forget the lap.
Wonderful to watch
Would love to see this in the World Championships or Olympics!
