Organisers have revealed an impressive line-up for the inaugural Revolution Championship, which begins on 14 November at Manchester Velodrome.
The cream of British cycling are getting involved in the track racing series, including Olympic hero Sir Chris Hoy and 2009 Tour de France star Bradley Wiggins.
Eight teams will compete in the event – the Flyers, Forza, Rollers, Slicks, Dynamo, Pacers, Tempo and Vitesse. Each will consist of a number of core riders, who will be supplemented by special guests at certain rounds.
The squads will battle it out for a share of a prize pot (the value has yet to be confirmed) at the end of the series, while the big names will receive appearance fees.
The respective team captains have been confirmed as Dean Downing, Roberto Chiappa, Chris Newton, Craig MacLean, Luke Roberts, Jamie Staff, Ed Clancy and Rob Hayles.
Organiser James Pope told BikeRadar: "We're trying to do something new and groundbreaking in track cycling. We're getting a real buzz from the riders already so we think it's going to be the most exciting series yet. The format will transform... the entertainment side of track cycling, in the UK and globally."
