Flying Scotsman returns for Revolution

Former world hour record holder, Graham Obree, is set to return to racing at the Revolution 15 track meeting in Manchester, UK on December 9. The Scotsman will team up with Great Britain Olympic Academy rider Ian Stannard for a two man pursuit over 2km.

"I'm really looking forward to it," commented Obree. "It’s my off season but I've been out on my bike, keeping in shape so it will be good to get back on the track. It sounds like an exciting race and it will be interesting to team up with Ian Stannard. I raced against him in the pursuit in the 2005 National Championships. That was the last time I was on the track so it is fitting that we will be racing together."
