“Cycle Speedway is 4 laps of intense anaerobic sprint”. Short & Sharp: Cycle
Speedway must be a contender for the title of most intense cycle sport. Races
are short - usually four laps of an outdoor 70-90 metre circuit, lasting around
35-40 seconds – and physical contact is both legal and often necessary. Four
riders contest a race, usually in pairs from opposing clubs. Team Sport: Cycle
Speedway is essentially a club sport, with inter-club matches within leagues the
mainstay of the sport. Each match normally consists of between sixteen and
twenty races! There are also individual championships, including a World
Championship and some inter-country series, including regular “Ashes” contests
between England and Australia.
