Track Cycling UEC European Championships 2020

Interesting to see Voinova and Shmeleva battle it out for gold in the sprint (as expected basically), but both not even making the keirin final  

 

And what a tournament for good old Maximilian Levy, beating Denis Dmitriev for gold in both the sprint and keirin

No points for correctly choosing the two nations who'll fight for gold and silver

 

 

And probably bronze isn't going to be much of a battle neither.

And first time, after long, long years, Slovenia is competing at a major event. Yes, you heard it right, it is not all about Pogačar and Roglič, we are surprisingly very weak nation in Track Cycling.

Track sprinters are an expensive luxury, they don’t usually double up on the road.  Distance riders always do road as well, but track races are very tactical & difficult to learn.

Italy dominated the women's madison and won despite the Russian gained lap

Main reason for not developing this sport was lack of facilities, only last year we finally got our first indoor velodrome in Novo mesto.
