Starting in Mallorca, the six-round UCI Track Champions League in conjunction with Discovery-owned broadcaster Eurosport will have the world's fastest track stars go head-to-head in a condensed, adrenaline-fuelled format optimised for television.
The sprint category will feature sprint and keirin while elimination and scratch races form the endurance events. Four riders will emerge as champions: the best male and female sprint riders and the best male and female endurance riders. Each round of the series will last around two hours with TV viewers treated to a range of innovative features such as live rider data designed to bring them closer to the action.
The new series is all part of a re-structuring of the track cycling calendar in which the world championships have been moved back to later in the year and doubling as a qualification process for the Champions League. Mallorca will host the first round in the Palma velodrome on Nov. 6 followed by a rounds in St Quentin en Yveli, France, Lithuania, a double-header in London's Olympic velodrome and culminating in Tel Aviv on Dec. 11.
