LONDON: The launch of a new Champions League format will elevate track cycling to another level and attract a wider fanbase when it launches in November, organisers believe.
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. "It's not re-inventing the sport or the rules but it's re-inventing the way the it's presented to the fans in the velodrome and the viewers on TV," Ribeiro said.
"We know that Spring is for the Giro, July for the Tour de France and now we want November/December to be the window for track cycling." The continuation of COVID-19 travel restrictions means the first season of the Champions League will be Europe-based, but the plan is to take it around the world.
