The 2018–19 UCI Track Cycling World Cup (also known as the Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup for sponsorship reasons) was a multi-race tournament over a track cycling season. It was the 27th series of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup organised by the UCI.
It will be the first edition of the World Cup to feature para-cycling.[1]
France's National Vélodrome de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines is near the city of Versailles, west of Paris. It hosted the opening round, on 19–21 October. The velodrome was completed in 2014 and hosted the 2015 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, where a number of world records were set. The velodrome also played host to the 2016 European Track Championships and will be the site of the track cycling events for the 2024 Olympic Games. It can hold 6,000 spectators.
The second round was hosted in Milton. The racing was held on three full days between 26 and 28 October 2018 at the Mattamy National Cycling Centre. The venue was built for the 2015 Pan and Parapan American Games held in Toronto. It is the only UCI Class 1 homologated indoor velodrome in Canada.
The last round of this World Cup series will be hosted in Hong Kong between 25 and 27 January 2019 at the Hong Kong Velodrome. Opened in 2013, the velodrome hosted the final round of the 2015-16 UCI Track Cycling World Cup, as well as the 2017 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, which is the first one in Asia in the 21st Century. It has permanent seating for 2,000 spectators, expandable to 3,000 for events such as the World Cup.[5]
