Last year' Manchester Velodrome hosted the first round of the  Track World Cup and it was a sell-out. This year it is once again preparing to host the first round of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classics for the 2009-2010 season.

Taking place between 30 October and 1 November 2009, British Cycling expects the event to be jam-packed with exhilarating performances from some of the world’s fastest track cyclists.
