The first rider across the finish line is deemed the winner. • 2-Up Match Sprint - An exciting sprint event held over 1.5 laps, with riders being rolled off

from the back straight after drawing the top or bottom of the track. The race usually begins slowly but finishes in a flurry as riders sprint to cross the finish line first, using tactics and bike skills to try and outwit and outpace their opponent.

• Keirin - A motor paced sprint event, where riders start evenly across the pursuit line and jostle for position behind the derny. Each lap the derny picks up pace, however once the derny pulls off, the race to the finish line really begins!

• Cyclone Sprint - Up to eight (8) riders start side by side, 12m behind the pursuit line in a held start. Riders have two laps to cross the line first.

• Derby - Derbys are similar to a match sprint, with riders rolling off from the finish line and implementing a series of tactics to be the first rider across the line. The race is held over three laps and can include more than two riders.

from a standing start. The winners are determined by the four fastest times produced in qualifying racing off for the top four placings in the finals.

• Elimination - A mass start event where the last rider across the line is eliminated every lap or every second lap (dependent upon field sizes) until two riders are left. The two remaining riders receive the bell and sprint to the finish line.

• Points Race - A mass start event where the final placing’s are determined according to accumulated points won by riders during intermediate sprints or by taking laps on their opponents, not by who crosses the finish line first.

• Madison - An exciting and technical race, where pairs of riders work together to amass sprint points or try to take a lap on the other teams.

• Italian Pursuit - The Italian pursuit is a fun and inclusive race that is similar to a team sprint. With teams starting from the front and back straights in a held start.
