Probably from the technical issue and the organization of the mass event itself, such a solution is not an option. Simply Roubaix is my loose suggestion that will not be implemented. Unless the track buys a rich sheikh and makes it something that meets safety standards and, above all, UCI approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This hosted 2014 European Championships... It's not even 250 m lap. It's 333.33 m. De_Gambassi 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomJa 64 Posted October 15, 2019 #16 Share Posted October 15, 2019 There is nothing to discuss - Roubaix is ONLY private dream. However, I am not significant in UCI or Polish association. I only know a lot of people from activists, journalists and the participants themselves. Let's consider from an organizational point of view, are the tracks on the air safer than those in the hall? You might as well try to play them on the speedway tracks and it will do the same but you will not be able to ride under the ceiling / upper band.

phelps 6,785 Posted October 15, 2019 #17 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) the last world championships held in a fully outdoor velodrome, however, dates back to 1995 (Bogotà, COL) and 1994 (Palermo, ITA)... the 2014 Worlds, instead, were held in Cali (COL), in a semi-indoor track (a formerly outdoor velodrome, now with a roof, but not with a fully closed structure)...

No one is building outdoor tracks anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
