Thrills and spills dominated Revolution 23, with big crashes in the Future Stars events and a heavy fall for Andy Tennant comprehensively ticking the 'spills' box. Thrills were supplied by an electric 1km Madison Time Trial, with Burke and Clancy edging ever closer to Hoy and Tournant's record, while in the Women's Sprint Omnium, freshly honoured Victoria Pendleton MBE showed just why she's earned the nickname Queen of the sprint. To say she entertained the crowd was an understatement. We were definitely amused. Even prior to any racing taking place, it was clear that she was a crowd favourite, with a roof-raising standing ovation for Pendleton during the opening ceremony.
