2015 Six Days Of London
2015 Six Days of London was a professional track cycling event held at the Lee Valley VeloPark in October 2015. The event was held over six consecutive nights (Sunday 18th to Friday 23rd). The event was held in the same Velodrome as used during the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It followed the typical six-day racing format, involving teams of two male riders competing in a number of races each evening. The primary event in the six day competition is the madison, occurring twice per night, in which teams attempted to lap the field. The overall number of laps determined the winner of the completion, with ties being decided based on points earned in minor races, including the derny, team elimination and time trials. In addition to the main competition, the event featured sprint races, an elite women's omnium held over three nights, as well as junior racing. The first day didn't count towards the main competition, due to a clash with the European Track Championships in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Omnium
An omnium (from Latin '' Omni'': of all, belonging to all) is a multiple race event in track cycling. Historically the omnium has had a variety of formats. In recent years, road racing has also adopted the term to describe multi-day races that feature the three primary road race events (time trial, mass start and criterium). History The omnium was re-introduced into the World Championships as a five race track cycling format for men in 2007 and for women in 2009. The omnium was changed in 2010 by the UCI to include the elimination race and the distances of the events were lengthened to favour endurance cyclists. The omnium replaced the individual pursuit, the points race, and the individual time trial at the Summer Olympic Games beginning in 2012. The change received some criticism from cyclist Rebecca Romero, who was left unable to defend her Olympic title. Current omnium From June 2014 until the end of 2016, the omnium as defined by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
