Watch live as track cycling stars go head-to-head at the Lee Valley Velodrome
Track racing returns to London on Friday night, with the launch of the brand-new London 3 Day.
Some of the world’s biggest stars will compete on the boards of the Lee Valley Velodrome, used for the London 2012 Olympics, with the action running over three days until Sunday evening.
Among those competing are double Olympic champion Katie Archibald, Madison silver medallist Neah Evans, and junior road and time trial world champion Cat Ferguson.
Other competitors include Brits Alex Dowsett, Owain Doull and Ethan Vernon, as well as newly minted Madison Olympic gold medallists Chiara Consonni and Vittoria Guazzini.
Fans can watch all of the racing live on Cycling Weekly’s YouTube channel, where the broadcast begins at 5:45pm BST on Friday 25 October.
Cycling Weekly readers can also purchase discounted tickets to attend in person – get 20% off using the code CW20 at checkout. There is still availability for each of Friday, Saturday and Sunday’s sessions.
Friday’s action will see an hour of youth racing from 5pm, before the elite racing commences at 6pm. Cycling Weekly's YouTube broadcast will run from 5:45pm until 10pm.
