In the DHL Future Stars events Wales' Amy Greenfield claimed an impressive two wins, however Jess Varnish's win in the 5km Scratch and the strong performances from the West Midlands region mean they are the team to beat.

Meanwhile in the Boy's events Erick Rowsell and Andy Fenn of the South East region claimed the 5km Scratch and Devil respectively, despite an extremely strong Yorkshire Region controlling the races.

In the One Mile Dash event Brooks Cycles' Steve Hill (West Midlands) destroyed the field with an attack in the final laps. So devastating was Steve's attack that he had time to salute the crowd as he crossed the line, with the field over five bike lengths back.

The Revolution continues on the 18th of November with Revolution 14
