Track bike news: The dates and venues for the Track World Cup 2019/2020 have been set! As the world cycling association UCI has announced, the coming World Cup season will again include six events. In contrast to this season, however, no race will be held on German soil.
Even before the 2018/2019 Track World Cup starts in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (France) in October, the World Cycling Union UCI has already put the dates for 2019/2020 on the table. The start of the World Cup, which consists of a total of six events, marks the beginning of November 2019 in Minsk in Belarus. Just one week later, the Track World Cup in Glasgow, Scotland, is already in its second round. The other stations are Hong Kong, Cambridge (New Zealand) and Brisbane (Australia). The Canadian Milton will conclude the 2019/2020 Track World Cup season in January 2020.
