Over three days this week, Scotland’s best will compete in their track championships and on Saturday, there’s ThunderDrome!
![]() |
It may lack Mel Gibson killing off the badies and Tina Turner providing the soundtrack but the ThunderDrome event (notice the R in Drome!) at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome is set to rock Glasgow’s new indoor velodrome with a host of stars competing in and outside of the Scottish Track championships. The event will also feature the launch of the new look NetApp/Endura cycling team.
ThunderDrome and the Scottish Track Championships take place over three days, 26th – 28th and will feature some well known names such as David Daniell, Jason Queally, Philip Hindes, Robert Foerstemann, Craig Maclean and Damien Zielinski in the Sprint invitation events. No mention of Sir Chris Hoy in one of the lists (he’s on another) but number 1 has been kept vacant so who knows. Update on that question to come!
The Saturday ThunderDrome event will also feature some well known faces in the Endurance events. Rob Hayles will be on the yellow peril if his tweets on Twitter are anything to go by while the Downing brothers Dean and Russell will be joined by Quickstep professional Andy Fenn as well as two Scottish ‘legends’; James McCallum and Evan Oliphant.
ThunderDrome will be an exciting two hour exhibition event which will showcase events as seen in the Olympics such as the Keirin, Match Sprint and Team Sprints. Details of what’s on are below:
