Rosie rides REVOLUTION 25

1 Mile Dash (Before the crash!)

After the disappointment of being a reserve for the UK School Games in September, Rosie Blount got her chance to ride a high profile track meet last Saturday at REVOLUTION 25.

The regionally selected Futurestars were teamed up with elite track endurance riders, a sprinter and a guest professional rider in the new format REVOLUTION Championship. The East Midlands Futurestars were lucky enough to be part of the PACERS team including Steven Burke, Alex Dowsett, George Atkins and Pete Kennaugh and captained by Olympic gold medallist Jamie Staff. The team’s Pro Peloton rider, who will make periodic appearances, is David Millar.

Rosie at the Youth National Track Championship

Rosie (still 14) this week lined up for the two most major (and scary) events she has done, namely the Youth National Track Championships 2000m Pursuit and 10Km Scratch Race at Newport Velodrome.

A full field started this event along the rolling 66 mile circuit, part of which is to be included in this years forthcoming Tour of Britain. Although the weather was warm, a fast pace was maintained with the usual breaks taking place from the start and at the back, a few riders were also packing it in straight away after finding the pace too hot.
