The track world championships return to France next February for the first time in nine years. The new velodrome in Saint Quentin en Yvelines in south west Paris will host its first international competition between February 18-22, as the track championships return to central Europe for the first time since 2011.
France's new national velodrome opened this spring and has a capacity of 5,000 seats. Bordeaux held the world championships in 2006.
