  6. REVOLUTION vs RED BULL



    This Saturday, two big track events are happening at the same time in the UK: The Red Bull Mini-Drome and the Revolution season finale at Manchester Velodrome. Of course they’re 200 hundred miles apart so naturally kids in London will go to the Mini-Drome and kids in Manchester will go to the Velodrome.

    But how do you decide if you live somewhere in the middle — like Birmingham? Fortunately I broke it down in the chart below to help all the Brummies figure it out for themselves:

    REVOLUTIONRED BULL

    Manchester — home to The Bee Gees.
    London — home to Iron Maiden.

    250 meters around.
    A little bit shorter.

    Competitors known for
    racing all over the world.
    Competitors you know
    from the pub up the street.

    Flying 200m World Record: 9.572 s
    (roughly 75 km/h).

    Predicted speeds: 80 km/h!!!

    If there’s a crash,
    a collarbone will break.
    There will be crashes,
    everyone will laugh.

    Helmets!
    Hipsters!

    Dual disc wheels, aero bars
    and shoe covers.

    650c Aerospokes

    Beer.
    Beer.


    Which event would you choose and why?
