Series edit

The 2011–12 Track Cycling World Cup took place over four rounds, in Astana, Cali, Beijing and London.

Astana edit

Astana in Kazakhstan was the host city for the first round of the 2011–12 UCI Track Cycling World Cup, which took place between 4 and 6 November 2011. It is the second largest city in the country and held the 2011 Asian Winter Games. The competition took place at the Saryarka Velodrome.[2]

Cali edit

Beijing edit

London edit

 
Track World Cup in London.

The fourth round took place in London between 17 and 19 February 2012, and formed part of the 'London Prepares' series of test events for the 2012 Olympics. It was the first event to take place in the Olympic velodrome.

All three medal winning teams in the women's team pursuit went under the previous world record time of 3:19.569, held by the USA. Great Britain's Dani King, Joanna Rowsell and Laura Trott set a new world record of 3:18.148.[3]

The Australian pairing of Anna Meares and Kaarle McCulloch broke the women's team sprint world record in the qualifying round, setting a new time of 32.828. The previous time of 32.923 was also set by Australia two years previously. But, they failed to repeat the performance in the final, losing to Great Britain's Jess Varnish and Victoria Pendleton who raised the bar to set a new world record of 32.754.[4]
