StreetVelodrome is a pop-up, portable cycling velodrome with fast straights and steep, banked corners at either end. Six pro teams from across the UK and Ireland (Team London, Team Dublin, Team Wigan, SouthCoast Rollers, Suffolk Saints and Team Wigan) have been racing in regional heats and now will be fighting for victory in an everything-to-play for Olympic pursuit-style, knock-out tournament.
