Good Friday Racing 3 Apr 2026

Enjoyed it, but disappointed there were no pursuit races.

cycing good. Coffee rubish

The cycling was great but we were disappointed by the atmosphere and the fact the veoldrome was only half full. In comparison to the Berlin event it was a bit sad. I hope next year maybe ticket prices could be reduced to get a fuller venue.

But it was well organised and great to watch.

Great cycling all round. Exciting and fast. Great skill from all the cyclist.

Downsides, depending on where you sit, could not hear the commentator clearly and could not read results.

The screens on Friday only showed scores one end, which were too far away to see from our seats and the other showed the track video. Not required as you can see all the track. On Sunday this had been changed so all 4 screens showed results. Which is great.

Another great day out, packed with exciting action and reasonably priced tickets

Overall this was a big improvement on last years event perhaps because there were more sprint races. Personally I love the Durney races and they didn’t disappoint. My biggest gripe was the PA system which was awful. You couldn’t hear a thing which meant it was impossible to get involved … if you didn’t have a knowledge of track cycling ( or be with someone who did) you would have struggled to know what was going on. When it was 6 days event the PA was brilliant and made it much easier for the audience to get involved. There could do with a bit more of a build up for the racers…often the races seemed to drift into one another …eg let the sprinters pick some music and then head round the track winding everyone up. Overall racing good but presentation needs work.
