The UCI has revealed the six venues for the 2018/2019 Track Cycling World Cup Series including one at London’s Indoor Olympic velodrome. They are:

France: Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, 19‐21 October 2018

Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France, will host the opening round of the 2018-2019 Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup. One week after the opening round in France, the 2018-2019 Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup continues in Milton, on the outskirts of Toronto, Canada.

After a one-month hiatus, the 2018-2019 Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup lands in the Velodrom arena of Berlin, Germany which hosted the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in 1999. The third round of the World Cup will serve as a rehearsal of the 2020 UCI Track Cycling World Championships presented by Tissot, to be held at Berlin’s Velodrom.

Less than two weeks after Berlin, the 2018-2019 Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup will move to London, Britain. This will be the first time that the world’s premier track series has returned to London in four years, since the venue hosted the first round of the 2014/15 UCI Track Cycling World Cup series in December 2014.

Six-time Olympic champion Jason Kenny, who has recently returned to competition, said: “The Velodrome at Lee Valley VeloPark is an historic venue and it’s amazing that we’re able to go back there again for the TISSOT UCI Track Cycling World Cup. Home world cups are always incredibly special for the riders, and I’m sure that I’m not the only one who can’t wait to get back on those boards and make even more memories in December.”

Since its inauguration in 2012, the velodrome of the London 2012 Olympic Games has welcomed the series three times, as well as the UCI World Championships for the discipline in 2016. The venue provided the stage for Bradley Wiggins’ successful UCI Hour Record attempt on 7 June 2015 where the British rider set a new world mark of 54.526 km and is now busy with track leagues and more.

For the first round of 2019, the 2018-2019 Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup resumes in January in Oceania. It is the second time, after 2015, that the international series stops at the Avantidrome of Cambridge, a New Zealand town some 150km south of the North island’s largest city, Auckland. Built in 2014, the Avantidrome velodrome is linked to nearby BMX, road and mountain biking facilities, making Cambridge New Zealand’s official home of cycling and centre of excellence.

The 2018-2019 Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup concludes at the end of January in Hong Kong. It will be the second World Cup event to be held in the velodrome since it was built in 2013. The city’s velodrome also welcomed the UCI World Championships in 2017, the second time Asia organised the discipline’s leading annual event after Maebashi, Japan, in 1990.
