ARMITSTEAD AND VOS RENEW RIVALRY AT REVOLUTION
Published 31/10/12
Olympic Road Race gold medallist Marianne Vos will renew her rivalry with Britain’s Lizzie Armitstead at the sold-out Revolution Series Round 2 on 1st December.
Lizzie Armitstead will be co-presenting on round 1 ITV4 highlights
Vos held off Armitstead in a thrilling sprint finish on The Mall in the Women's Road Race at last summer's London 2012 Olympics. Now Revolution Series fans will see them race again at the National Cycling Centre, rekindling the excitement and passion of the London Olympic Games.
Armitstead joined Ned Boulting as guest presenter for the ITV4 highlights show at Revolution Round 1 on Saturday night (27th October) and announced the rematch with Vos to the packed crowd: "I'll be racing at the next Revolution and I've been told that Marianne will be here too. It's only a few weeks away so I'll need to get training!"
Ahead of her appearance at Round 2, Vos said: "It will be amazing to return to track racing at the Revolution Series after winning Olympic Gold in the Road Race in London. I have great memories of competing in Manchester - I won the Points Race at the World Championships there in 2008 so it's where I started to have success on the track. I'm really looking forward to competing at Revolution against some of the best riders in the world."
