UCI Track World Championships, Women
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The women's UCI Track World Championships are the world championship events for track cycling and are organized by the Union Cycliste Internationale, the official governing body for sport cycling worldwide. The world championships are held annually at various locations around the world. Track cycling is a velodrome event. The various events are described below. Track bicycles differ from those used in bicycle road racing principally by the fact that they have no brakes and only a single gear.
[edit] Description of events
- 500m Time Trial:
This event has a simple objective: to see who can cover the specified distance (500 meters, usually 2 laps of a standard velodrome track) in the shortest time. The riders start one by one, from a standing start with a hold, or in starting blocks.
