What is a "velodrome"?
A velodrome is a specially designed track for cycling races. It is typically oval-shaped, with sloped curves to help cyclists maintain speed as they ride around the track. The surface of a velodrome is often made of wood or smooth synthetic materials, providing good grip for high-speed racing. Velodromes are used for track cycling events, where cyclists compete in various races, including sprints, time trials, and team races. The design of the velodrome ensures safety and optimal performance, with its steep curves allowing riders to maintain their momentum and speed throughout the race.
