The 2024 UCI Track Champions League was the fourth edition of the UCI Track Champions League, a track cycling competition held over five rounds in November and December 2024.
Titles were awarded in two categories – Endurance and Sprint – for women and men; the women's titles were won by Alina Lysenko (Sprint) and Katie Archibald (Endurance), while the men's titles were won by Harrie Lavreysen (Sprint) and Dylan Bibic (Endurance).
Events
This season of the UCI Track Champions League consisted of five rounds. Each round had two races per category (Sprint and Endurance), both for men and for women, making a total of 40 races. The Sprint category consisted of individual sprint and keirin races, while the Endurance category consisted of scratch and elimination races.
Calendar
Crash in Round 5
At the final round in London, during the second heat of the women's keirin, two of the riders – Katy Marchant and Alessa-Catriona Pröpster – collided at high speed and crashed over the barriers, into the crowd.[1][2] The organisers of the event, including WBD Sports, British Cycling, the UCI, and the venue (Lee Valley VeloPark) took the decision to cancel the remainder of the evening's races.[3] Both riders and four spectators were treated by medics at the venue. Marchant was taken to hospital, and it was later confirmed that she had fractured her forearm and dislocated two fingers.[1][2]
The races cancelled were the men's keirin, women's keirin, and men's elimination race; no points were awarded for any of these events.
Points standings
Scoring system
Points were awarded to the top fifteen riders, with twenty points being awarded to each race winner. In the case of a tie on points, a countback system was used where the highest most recent race result determined the final positions.[4] The leader of each classification is denoted by a light blue jersey.
