It can be deafening when you’re out there on the track, but that energy really spurs you on and enables you to push that little bit harder. I have great memories of being crowned the women’s endurance champion there in 2021, and it was great to be able to win the final elimination race there last year as well.”
British Cycling CEO, Jon Dutton, said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing the UCI Track Champions League back to London for two more scintillating rounds of racing in November, with fans being given the opportunity to see the overall series champions crowned once again.
“At British Cycling, we’re incredibly proud of our reputation as a trusted host of the sport’s showpiece events, and I know just how popular this storied velodrome and our raucous, sell-out crowds are with riders and fans across the world.”
