TICKET SALES OPEN FOR 2024 UCI TRACK CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL ROUNDS AT LEE VALLEY VELOPARK
Ticket sales are now on general sale for the final two rounds of the 2024 UCI Track Champions League season which will be hosted at London's award-winning Lee Valley VeloPark on December 6-7.
Since opening in 2012, this iconic track has been home to many jaw-dropping performances; the 2012 Olympic Games saw the likes of Chris Hoy, Laura Kenny, and Jason Kenny, among others, storm to victory, taking seven out of a possible 10 gold medals; Sir Bradley Wiggins’ successful attempt on the UCI Hour Record in 2015, and more recently, the back-to-back, sold-out rounds of the UCI Track Champions League in the past three seasons.
In 2021, the inaugural Grand Finale of the UCI Track Champions League provided the stage for thrilling sprints and intense endurance races that kept spectators on the edge of their seats. Among the standout performances, Dutch legend Harrie Lavreysen claimed victory in the men's sprint category, while Katie Archibald from Great Britain dominated the women's endurance events. The 2022 edition saw record-breaking performances and dramatic photo finishes, with Lavreysen unsuccessfully fighting to defend his sprint title against Australian rising star Matthew Richardson, and American Jennifer Valente emerging in the women's endurance category. The 2023 season continued to captivate audiences with breathtaking races and inspiring comebacks. Lavreysen reclaimed his trophy in the men's sprint, and Katie Archibald did the same in the women’s endurance.
The iconic venue was designed by architects at leading practice Hopkins Architects, and has a capacity for over 6,000 spectators. The track sits at seven metres wide and 250 metres long. Made of Siberian pine, and with a banking of 42° at its highest and 12° at its lowest, it is clear the track is built for speed.
Emma Hinze (Germany), Gavin Hoover (USA), Mathilde Gros (France), Claudio Imhof (Switzerland), Dylan Bibic (Canada), and Ellesse Andrews (New Zealand) also know what it feels like to lift the UCI Track Champions League Trophy on this legendary stage. With the stakes higher than ever, we can expect spectacular performances in the final two rounds of the 2024 UCI Track Champions League on December 6-7.
Season four of the UCI Track Champions League kicks off on November 23 at the Vélodrome National in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, which will crown the Paris 2024 Olympic Champions in just a few weeks. The league will then move to Apeldoorn on November 29-30, before concluding in London on December 6-7.
