Some of the world’s best track cyclists will take to the boards of London’s Lee Valley Velodrome from Friday, with four — including newly crowned team pursuit world champion, Katie Archibald — wearing Cycling Weekly jerseys.
Archibald, along with Neah Evans, will pair up to compete in Cycling Weekly jerseys at the London 3 Day track meet, with the men's duo consisting of Giro d’Italia stage winner (and relatively recent retiree) Alex Dowsett, alongside Owain Doull.
Fans can catch all of the action live on Cycling Weeky’s YouTube channel, starting from 6PM BST, on Friday 25 October.
The organisers are also offering Cycling Weekly readers the chance to purchase tickets for the events - taking place between Friday 25 October and Sunday 27 October - at 20% off, using the code CW20.
London 3 Day’s highly decorated line-up includes 2023 elimination world champion Ethan Vernon and 2024 Olympic silver medalist in the Madison, Elia Viviani.
Archibald will be competing fresh from the World Championships, where she made her racing return following a freak accident which ruled her our of the 2024 Olympic games.
The event - hosted at the home of the 2012 Olympics - will also feature GB stars Charlie Tanfield, Ben Wiggins, and UCI junior road and time trial world champion Cat Ferguson.
Adding excitement to the proceedings, London 3 Day’s organisers have introduced a new race format for 2024: The Lightning. Amateur riders will compete against a mystery professional rider, in a three-lap sprint - with a half lap headstart, and a £5,000 cash price up for grabs, the format will make for an explosive event.
Riders will also battle it out on a Madison - the only internationally televised race of its kind held in the UK this year - elimination, points race and Derny race, with a prize and podium for the overall victory, too.
Races kick off on Friday evening, from 6pm BST. Saturday’s events will be split into two rounds, with races between 12pm and 3pm, and then again between 6pm and 10pm. The grand final, on Sunday, will take place between 1pm and 6pm.
Live action will be available on Cycling Weekly’s YouTube channel, between 6pm and 10pm BST on Friday, 6pm and 10pm on Saturday, and 1pm and 6pm on Sunday.
There’s still time to pick up tickets, head to the London 3 Day website, and use the code ‘CW20’ at the checkout to enjoy 20% off.
