The best track cyclists in the world will descend on the Velódromo Peñalolén in Santiago, Chile, for the 2025 UCI Track World Championships from Wednesday 22 October to Sunday 26 October. There will be 22 titles up for grabs across various disciplines for the right to wear the famous rainbow world champion stripes for next year’s stripes.
It may be the first time the annual championships have not been held in Europe since Hong Kong in 2017, but cyclists from that continent are expected to feature prominently among the medals after the Netherlands, Great Britain and Denmark led the medals table in 2024 with four golds each.
Team GB have failed to win a medal in the women’s team pursuit just once since the event’s inception in 2008, winning eight gold, six silver and two bronze medals. Katie Archibald, one of the most decorated riders in track cycling, will again be part of a strong team and the 31-year-old is also expected to take part in the madison and elimination races. Also look out for Emma Finucane, who dominated in 2024, winning the individual sprint and the team sprint (with Sophie Capewell and Katy Marchant).
Matt Richardson, new from Great Britain after switching nationality from Australia, will go in the sprint after breaking the 200m world record a few weeks ago in Turkey. Dutchman Harrie Lavreysen, who won three golds at the Olympics in Paris, will challenge Richardson.
Ally Wollaston took gold in the women’s omnium and elimination races in Copenhagen 12 months ago and the 24-year-old New Zealander will be favorite to retain her titles.
