Four years after cycling fans thrilled to the competition of the 2012 Olympic Games at the Lee Valley VeloPark in London, Great Britain, the world’s top riders are returning to the venue for the 2016 UCI Track Cycling World Championships on 2-6 March. In addition to being the World Championships, the event is the final qualification opportunity for Olympic quotas for the 2016 Rio Games, so it holds even more importance than usual.
 

Biggest stars of the track and road cycling will go head to head on the boards of the Lee Valley Velodrome in London, including Sir Bradley Wiggins, Mark Cavendish, Michael Hepburn, Glenn O'Shea, Jasper De Buyst, Fernando Gaviria, Elia Viviani, Lasse Norman Hansen, Francois Pervis and others.
