Team Sprint
The most hectic discipline where teams of three riders start on each side of the track. As each leading rider completes one lap of the track he drops out leaving the next rider to complete a further lap before the last rider takes over to complete the three lap race. The first round is staged on a time trial basis to find the fastest four teams to contest the final.
The women’s team sprint event is a recent addition to the Championships. It was first contested in Palma last year. The rules are the same as the men’s race except that teams of two riders complete two laps of the 250m track.
