Unstoppable: Andy Fenn at Revolution 15


Revolution 15 was dominated by the South East's Andy Fenn, who claimed three victories on the night.

In the Future Stars Scratch event Fenn only just won from Rob O'Loughlin, however in the Mile Dash Andy showed his class in beating Mark Christian and Tom Skubala in the sprint and easily took his second victory of the night

In the final Future Stars race of the evening Skubala was too strong for Fenn and they claimed 1st and 2nd respectively in the Devil

For Fenn's final victory of the night he teamed up with Skubala (Yorkshire), Sam Freeman (East Mids) and Mark Christian (North West) to take on Track Legend Graeme Obree in a 4km Pursuit challenge

Despite Obree's massive gear the future stars were in complete control of the event and easily caught the flying scotsman inside the final kilometre

In the girl's future stars events the welsh team dominated once again with Alex Greenfield taking the Devil and Hannah Rich showing her potential in claiming victories in the Scratch and Mile Dash

As expected the Men's Sprint Omnium was taken by Craig MacLean, who easily outsprinted his rivals Jamie Staff, Jason Kenny, David Daniell, Chris Lyte, Steve Hill, Tom Buck and international riders Jan Van Eijden and Roberto Chiappa

Brook Cycles rider Steve Hill set a U16 National Record in the 200m round of the Omnium with a time of 11.103s and in the process achieved a standing ovation from the crowd.

The rest of the evening was a tribute to the late World Madison Champion Isaac Galvez, who died at the recent Ghent 6-Day event in Belgium.

The evenings Madison event was dedicated to Galvez and renamed the Isaac Galvez Memorial and despite a nasty crash involving Tom Smith and Matt Rowe the event was a huge success with some excellent racing culminating in Bradley Wiggins and Franco Marvulli taking the victory

The Revolution continues on the 20th of January with Revolution 16
