Casper and Popovych at Revolution

Jimmy Casper and Yaroslav Popovych are among the latest Pro Tour riders to take to the track. The two Tour de France stage winners will team up with Bradley Wiggins and Roger Hammond, respectively, at the next round of the Manchester Velodrome's Revolution on November 18th.

Saunier Duval will send Giro d'Italia winner Gilberto Simoni to team up with David Millar at the same event. Millar has recently honed his abilities on the track, taking the national pursuit title in early October. As to his fellow roadies' chances on the track, Millar said, "Jimmy [Casper] has some good experience on the track. I know him well from my time at Cofidis. He comes from the Picardie region of France which is the heartland of French track racing... I think he’ll be a bit nervous, but knowing Jimmy that will actually benefit him."
