London bids for world cycling showdown

Sunday, 26 Jul, 2012 0

London’s Olympic Velodrome is to bid to host the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in 2016.

The last time Britain hosted the World Championships was in 2008.

"I want our great capital city to play its own part in the cycling revolution that is taking place by hosting the track cycling world championships in 2016," said the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson.

"This is the best sports city in the world and the wonderful velodrome we have built in east London would be packed to the rafters for such an event."
