UCI Track World Championships 2021

The 2021 UCI Track World Championships were held October 20-23 in Roubaix, France at the Vélodrome Couvert Régional Jean-Stablinski, known locally as “Le Stab”, located adjacent to the velodrome which hosted the finish of the famous Paris-Roubaix races for women and men.

The Union Cycliste Internationale moved the event to the new October dates instead of the traditional spring period due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. France took on host duties from Turkmenistan as well.

As part of a reform with track cycling, athletes had incentives to qualify for a new UCI Track Champions League, beginning with an opening round just two weeks after these UCI World Championships.

Germany won the most world titles over the five days of competition with six and were top of the total medal count with 11. The Netherlands and Italy were tied for second in the overall medal count with 10 each.
