OLYMPIC champion Geraint Thomas will compete at the Revolution Series in Glasgow as he makes a return to the track for the first time since 2012.

The 29-year-old Welshman helped Great Britain win gold in the team pursuit at the 2012 Olympic Games and will revisit the scene of his triumph at the Lee Valley VeloPark in London on November 14 followed by the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow a fortnight later on November 28. Thomas will ride for Team Sky at both events.

“It will be my first time back to the velodrome since the Olympic Games so it's going to be a bit surreal but I'm really looking forward to it," he said.

“It's going to be a bit of a shock to the system to get back on the boards after my end of season break but I love a challenge so I’ll give it a good crack and try and get some points on the board for the team.”
The Revolution Elite Championship will see 12 teams compete for points across the five-round series.

Last season saw German continental team Maloja Pushbikers take the title in a close battle with Orica-GreenEDGE. 

Both these teams return this season alongside Team Sky and other leading British professional teams including JLT Condor, One Pro Cycling and Team Wiggins.
