This state-of-the-art venue is designed to host the UCI's annual World Cycling Cup and World Championships. The rooftop track, connected to the ground by a 600-meter cycling ramp, offers cyclists a 360-degree panoramic view, creating a truly immersive experience. In addition, the venue will include multi-functional areas such as food and beverage facilities, sports retail stores, a wellness café, a track bike rental store, a wind tunnel unit, and a high-altitude training center.
