Cycling Track Introduction

Cycling Track is a bicycle racing sport usually held on specially built banked tracks or velodromes but many events are held at older velodromes where the track banking is relatively shallow using track bicycles. Track racing is also done on grass tracks marked out on flat sports fields. Such events are particularly common during the summer in Scotland at Highland Games gatherings, but there are also regular summer events in England.

Cycling Track events fit into two broad categories, Sprint races and Endurance races. Riders will typically fall into one category and not compete in the other. Riders with good all round ability in the junior ranks will decide to focus on one area or another before moving up to the senior ranks. Sprint races are generally between 3 and 8 laps in length and focus on raw sprinting power and race tactics over a small number of laps to defeat opponents. Sprint riders will train specifically to compete in races of this length and will not compete in longer endurance races.

Cycling Track is a most popular Olympic Sport and it is also going to take place in London Olympic Games 2012.
