– What Happened –

The 2016-2017 Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup opened in Glasgow, Scotland, for the first round of the season. Host Great Britain led the standings after three days of competition with five gold medals, despite the absence of many of their Olympic Champions. Three nations won two gold medals – France, Lithuania and Spain – with France taking the most overall medals of the World Cup, a total of seven. Australia, Poland and the Czech Republic each took one gold medal to complete the standings.

Glasgow also hosted the first-ever Women’s Madison competition at the World Cup level, with the British team of Katie Archibald and Manon Lloyd entering the history books as the first winners.

This round saw the first Omnium run under the brand new format at this level: it was the women who raced the Omnium in Glasgow. This multi-event competition has been reduced from six events over two days to four events on a single day. In addition, all four events are now mass-start competitions, for greater excitement. Emily Kay of Great Britain won the women’s Omnium ahead of Lotte Kopecky (Belgium) and Tatsiana Sharakova (Belarus).
