Hoy Back in Style at Revolution 22 Triple Olympic Champion Chris Hoy made his return to racing in style this weekend when he claimed victory in the
Sprint and Keirin at Revolution 22. Hoy dominated the Elite Sprint Events in what was his first event outing on the track since Beijing
Men's Elite Sprint Events Round One saw Edgar face Jamie Staff and Craig Maclean, and it was no surprise to see Ross easily progress to the Semi Finals with a comfortable win on the line. In the Second Heat Pete Mitchell and Jason Kenny lost out by some distance to Matt Crampton who again again showed why he is tipped for a fantastic 2009 Heat Three saw Italian Roberto Chiappa and Dutchman Teun Mulder take on Britain's Daniell, with the latter using his far superior Speed Endurance to effortlessly move into the Semi-Finals in impressive style  2009 will be a big year for Matt Crampton It wasn't until Heat Four that the crowd got to see Olympic Sprint Champion Chris Hoy in action as he faced an off-form Chris Lyte and Itmar Esteban of Spain. It was fair to say that this was somewhat easy for Hoy as he didn't break a sweat in making the Semi-Finals In the first Semi-Final Dave Daniell faced Ross Edgar, with the latter leading it out with 200m to go all Daniell had to do was sit on and wait before moving round Edgar to make the Final. In the second Semi it was Hoy v Crampton, with both riders endurance sprint specialists we were in for a drag race, however the pair preferred to keep it tactical in the first two laps before Crampton launched off the front with one lap remaining. Hoy took a while to latch onto Crampton but when he easily overhauled his opponent to take his place in the final  Dave Daniell keeps getting better and better In the Final it was the Crown Prince Dave Daniell against the reigning King Chris Hoy, Daniell led things out in another tactical encounter that delighted the capacity crowd at Manchester Velodrome. Daniell launched his attack with one lap remaining before yes you guessed it Hoy moved past to just take the victory on the line At the end of the night the Sprinters took to the track again to do battle in the two Keirins. Dave Daniell 'did a Hoy' in the Revolution Keirin leading it out as the Derny left the Track to leave the others standing and take a fine victory, whereas in the Invitation Keirin Hoy tried something different, coming from third wheel to win in style Sprint Round One Results Ross Edgar beat Jamie Staff, Craig Maclean Matt Crampton beat Pete Mitchell, Jason Kenny Dave Daniell beat Roberto Chiappa, Teun Mulder Chris Hoy beat Chris Lyte, Itmar Esteban Sprint Semi-Final Results Dave Daniell beat Ross Edgar Chris Hoy beat Matt Crampton Sprint Minor Final Results Matt Crampton Sprint Final Results Chris Hoy beat Dave Daniell Invitation Keirin Results 1.

At this point Steve Cummings (Barloworld) and Andrew Magnier shot off the front, effortlessly moving past Mozza.
