STREETVELODROME 2016 KICKS OFF IN STYLE AT THE LONDON BIKE SHOW
The long winter is almost over and the 2016 StreetVelodrome event team are eager to get started on what promises to be the best StreetVelodrome Series so far.
It all kicks off at the London Bike Show 11th February at Excel London. At 1pm the doors will open to the UK's largest cycling expo and the World's most accessible cycle sport.
We have a jam packed programme of on track action for each day of the show. With free on track coaching sessions, Pro Rider challenges and the launch of our 2016 Kids Series, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
GUEST PRESENTER - 4MUSIC'S VICK HOPE
4Music's Vick Hope will be our guest MC for the duration of the show. Vick presented the 2015 StreetVelodrome TV Series on BTSport and was an instant hit with fans of the show. She'll be on hand to introduce the pro riders, explain what StreetVelodrome is all about and how to get involved.
2015 CHAMP DAVE JOHNSON WILL BE COACHING AND RACING AT THE SHOW
Our Pro Rider line up for the show is filling fast. Confirmed are 2014 & 2015 Pro Rider Champion Dave Johnson, 2014 Catch Trophy Winner Lee Gratton, 2015 Pro Semi-Finalist Pat Robinson, 2015 Pro Semi-Finalist Kelli Salone and 2015 Bronze medal winner Jess Greaves. All have competed in the televised Series but now they are coming together for some special head to head 'Best of Three Challenges'. Expect some fireworks as these guys hit the banking at speeds reaching 25mph.
Launching at the show will be the 2016 UK StreetVelodrome Series Race Calendar and the online ballot for free race entries goes live as the doors to the show open at 1pm on Friday.
2016 KIDS SERIES LAUNCH - SATURDAY 13TH FEB AT 2PM
The highlight of the four days of the show will be Saturday's exciting launch event for the 2016 Kids Series. Up to 24 amazing young cyclists with ages ranging from 5 to 15 will compete in Olympic style pursuit races for either the Sharks or the Tigers. The build up starts at 1.45pm with racing on track from 2pm. These young #FuturePros will be the stars with Sky TV's Game Changers on hand to capture all the action. Pick your favourite team to win, or support them both. Whatever you do, don't miss it.
