Cycling

The Adelaide Track League returned to the Gepps Cross velodrome on Friday night for a round packed with action from juniors to the elite.

The Women’s Olympic Track Endurance team hit the boards for a final hit-out before heading to Brisbane for the last weeks before the trip to Tokyo. The crowd was entertained with a Women’s Madison and a fun inclusion of an Elimination race that included the winner of the first sprint earning a ‘get out of jail’ token to use if they found themselves at the back of the pack in a subsequent sprint. The track nights have brought crowds back to the velodrome.

Lacrosse
