TOP Scottish cyclists will compete at the latest elite track cycling event to hit Glasgow.
Big names, including Commonwealth Games medal hopefuls Kayleigh Brogan and Evan Oliphant, will take to the track for Revolution Series Round 2 at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome on Saturday, November 30.
And Olympic hero Sir Chris will be in the velodrome to launch the first track bike in his new range and watch the HOY Future Stars in action.
HOYbikes sponsors the 2013-14 Revolution Series Future Stars races, which gives the most talented 15 and 16-year-old riders in Britain the opportunity to race in front of sell-out crowd.
He tweeted: "Very excited to finally unveil my first @HOYbikes track bike as well as 650c youth track & road models @RevolutionUK round 2 in Glasgow."
James McCallum, who won the last series which finished at Glasgow in February, is also set to return to the track.
He said: "Winning the Revolution Series last season in front of a Scottish crowd was one of the highlights of my career.
"The fans really pushed us on and I am sure it will be the same at Round 2."
Joining him at the competition will be Scottish cyclists Callum Skinner, Ross Edgar, John Paul and Commonwealth Games silver medallist Charline Joiner.
They will battle it out over a range of endurance and sprint races taking place over two sessions.
The Telegraph All Stars are leading the Elite Championship after Round 1.
