Track Cycling – London 3 Days 2026 – DAY 1 – Lee Valley VeloPark, Elizabeth Olympic Park, London, United Kingdom 🇬🇧

London 3 Day is a three-day track cycling event held at an indoor velodrome, combining sprint disciplines, endurance races and team-based competition. Racing takes place on a smooth, 250-metre banked wooden track, where steeply inclined bends, short straights and high speeds demand precise line choice and controlled positioning. The programme typically includes events such as the Sprint, Keirin, Madison, Omnium, Scratch, Elimination and Derny races. Sprint disciplines emphasize explosive acceleration, aerodynamic positioning and tactical timing, while endurance events require sustained power, drafting awareness and careful energy management over repeated laps. The steep banking allows riders to maintain momentum through the corners, but close racing leaves little room for mistakes. Team events add another tactical dimension, with coordinated exchanges and shared effort playing an important role. Across three days, riders must adapt to different formats while maintaining consistency and recovering between events. Finishes can be decided by tactical breakaways, points accumulated or high-speed bunch sprints.
