UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classic

Fixtures and the calendarPublished

Opening a world cup season is a better prize than hosting a later round: the field is complete, the form is unknown, and everybody turns up. The entry below is the city taking the first round of a season at its own velodrome.

That is the fixture around which the rest of the cycling diary is arranged — national titles before it, a promoted show night after. The building is the subject of the velodrome record.
