Track World Championships 2023: preview
There are four more rainbow jerseys to contest on Wednesday, the final day of the Track World Championships. The women's omnium plays out throughout the day, with the men’s keirin and points race, and women’s sprint threaded through the schedule.
If you're not familiar with track parlance, the sprint is a must-see for fans of pure theatre, the bizarre sight of two competing riders sniffing each other's tails before a mad dash to the line being a spectacle that never gets old.
The same goes for the keirin, in which the riders initially rely on a motorbike for pacing, the madison, where pairings propel each other forward with a literal sling, the points race, which is a 160-lap (100 laps for women) endurance event broken up by intermittent sprint laps, and the omnium, which combines the scratch, tempo, elimination and points disciplines.
The Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome is the beating heart of the entire Cycling World Championships, and you can read on as we explain how to watch a FREE 2023 Track World Championships live stream from anywhere with a VPN.
