World Road Race Champion and Tour de France Green Jersey winner Mark Cavendish will make a rare appearance on the track as he takes part in Revolution on Saturday November 19th at Manchester’s National Cycling Centre.
It will be Cavendish’s first competitive outing in the Velodrome since 2008 and also the first time the World Road Race Champion has graced the Manchester boards.
“Mark raced Revolution regularly in the early years so it is fantastic to welcome him back as the World Road Race Champion” commented Face Partnership’s James Pope. “After such a fantastic year on the road the Revolution crowd are going to provide a hero’s welcome to Cav so it will be a special evening.”
Cavendish will have his work cut out in the racing with multiple track champions also confirmed to race.
