Track bicycle racing is a variety of races compounded in the
competitions held on velodromes or cycle tracks. Compared to road cycling, it’s an indoor one.

Cyclocross is riding over medium distances on specific equipment, that is why cyclocross is considered one of the most difficult kinds.
For bettors, the most important is to distinguish road and track cycling, because they are widespread ones to gamble on.
Track races take place in indoor arenas (also called velodromes) where the track is looped, with lap distances ranging from 150 to 500 meters.
Road cycling is a street discipline in which athletes can cover enormous distances in a single race. There are different short, medium or long distance bicycle races, individual or team competitions, one-day or multi-day events .
