European Popularity in Cycling Track

The success of Madison’s in America led to their introduction in Europe. The first was at Toulouse in 1906, although it was abandoned after three days because of lack of interest. Berlin tried, three years later, with success. Five races were held in Germany in 1911-12. Brussels followed in 1912 and Paris in 1913.

Six-day races continued to do well in Europe. Its heart was in Germany except during the Nazi period when the races were banned with most events but it was strong, too, in Belgium and France. London had a series of races at Wembley starting in 1936. The local man, Frank South all, crashed and left for hospital. So did another British hope, Syd Cozens. Only nine of the 15 teams lasted the race. The series continued, with more success, until the start of the Second World War in 1939.
