Martyn Irvine has put in a strong ride on the Manchester velodrome guesting for Team Sky at the Revolution meeting.

The new Unitedhealthcare pro teamed up with Sky’s Peter Kennaugh for the Madison TT and posted the second fastest time in the 1km event behind Germans Robert Bengsch and Marcel Kalz (Rudy Project RT).

Irvine rode four events in total in the meeting last night, Saturday, with his other very strong ride coming in the scratch race, where claimed second.

He was one of a group of riders to lap the field in the 10km race and was beaten to the line at the finish only by Frenchman Tristan Marguet (Face Partnership).
