A vélodrome is a specialized arena designed for track cycling. It features an oval-shaped track with steeply banked curves, allowing cyclists to achieve high speeds safely. The surface is typically made of wood or smooth asphalt, providing optimal grip and performance. Vélodromes host competitive races, training sessions, and cycling events, offering a controlled environment that emphasizes speed and agility. They vary in size but are built to standards that ensure fair competition and safety for athletes while offering spectators clear views of the action.
