Track Cycling

Track cycling is a form of competitive cycling held on a velodrome, which is a specially designed, oval-shaped track with steep banking. Cyclists race on lightweight bikes with no brakes and aerodynamic features, focusing on speed and endurance. Events vary from sprint races to endurance pursuits, requiring strategy, power, and precision. Riders often compete individually or in teams, utilizing techniques like drafting to reduce wind resistance. The sport emphasizes skillful pacing, explosive acceleration, and smooth bike handling, making it a dynamic and technically demanding discipline within the world of cycling.
