Jeong Jong-jin wins the latest battle of Korean keirin's big two, leaving it very very late. (KRace) youtu.be/oCPDqRwLhwU

From the UCI's monthly email newsletter: 'this month we hosted a delegation from the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation and the Director of Korea’s UCI WCC Continental Development Satellite. Our discussions focused on the construction of a new velodrome in Seoul' 🤔

If you haven't watched Awang's win yesterday with the Malaysian TV commentary: treat yourself. Language knowledge not required. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFIE...

Wang wins in Nilai, and tops the Track World Cup table. Silver for Gaxiola after a long day of repechages. Finucane upgraded to third after Genest's relegation. #TrackWC globalkeirin.com/2026/04/chin...

Confirmed: relegations for Genest in the medal race, and van der Peet in the minor final. That means your medals are: 🥇 Wang 🇨🇳 🥈 Gaxiola 🇲🇽 🥉 Finucane 🇬🇧 #TrackWC

Hold on... looks like the commissaires might have something to say about both those women's final races. We're now seeing Finucane third, Genest sixth - relegated? And van der Peet, who was listed as fourth in the minor final, now showing as sixth. Awaiting confirmation. #TrackWC

Wang was comfortable enough in the end - but look at the fight for medals behind her. (📷 Tissot) #TrackWC

WANG 🇨🇳 TAKES IT! Gaxiola 🇲🇽 second, Genest 🇨🇦 third, Finucane 🇬🇧 fourth in an incredibly tight finish. #TrackWC

Finucane wins again - but that was a tight one. Women's final will be: 🇬🇧 Finucane 🇳🇱 van de Wouw 🇨🇳 Wang 🇨🇦 Genest 🇨🇴 Cuadrado 🇲🇽 Gaxiola #TrackWC

Can anyone stop Emma Finucane? She was fastest qualifier then unbeatable in sprint yesterday; and she blasted through the first two rounds of today's keirin. Home hopes rest on Izzah Izzati, who set a new national 200 record yesterday - and avoids Finucane in the semis. #TrackWC

Those smiles are genuine. This is great for Awang, great for Malaysia, great for the fans, great for the sport. Wouldn't it be great if we could do this regularly, sustainably, globally? #TrackWC #trackcycling

There's a Netflix documentary on #Awang already in production. Well, they've got their big dramatic ending. #TrackWC #trackcycling

You see? Fairytales do come true. 🇲🇾 #TrackWC (📷 swpix, as always)

Awang 🇲🇾 delivers a fairytale farewell to his home fans in Nilai, with victory in the men's keirin. Lavreysen 🇳🇱 second, Paul 🇹🇹 third. #TrackWC globalkeirin.com/2026/04/fair...

🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾 AWANG!!!!!!!!! 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾 #TrackWC

Van Loon takes the minor final, ahead of Cechman: they'll both be happy with their day's work. Now for the big one. Can Awang deliver for the home fans? #TrackWC

Men's keirin final in an hour's time: 🇲🇾 Awang 🇹🇹 Paul 🇩🇪 Hackmann 🇯🇵 Nakaishi 🇳🇱 Lavreysen 🇫🇷 Helal Malaysia will go crazy if Azizul pulls this off. #TrackWC

HE DID IT! Awang 🇲🇾 wins his semi, ahead of Paul 🇹🇹 and Hackmann 🇩🇪 . He can't... can he? Of course he can! And he's only getting faster today. #TrackWC

Semis draw is in: and you have to say, it's been kind to Awang 🇲🇾 . Second heat has 5 of the current top 32. Awang's heat only has 2 (himself & world no1 Paul 🇹🇹). Top 3 go through from each. #TrackWC #trackcycling

Kiriltsev & Rudyk 🇵🇱 don't progress in r2 reps. Cechman 🇨🇿 & van Loon 🇳🇱 on course for their best world-level keirin results in some time. Semis draws imminent: they race just before 12.30 CET, 11.30 UK. #TrackWC

Good morning Europe! The big stories in men's keirin at Nilai so far: Quintero out in first round, beaten by Elkatochoongo 🇮🇳 in first race, then Helal 🇫🇷 & Shayakhmetov 🇰🇿 in rep. But all fine for Awang 🇲🇾 so far: huge win in r1, second to Lavreysen 🇳🇱 in r2. #TrackWC

Looks like Hong Kong winner Yuan Liying 🇨🇳 won't contest the women's keirin on Sunday; in her place, the even younger Yimin Bian. (UCI Regonline) #trackcycling #TrackWC

Start lists for Saturday's men's keirin are out. 8 first-round heats - all but one with 7 riders. Only the winner proceeds directly. Awang finds himself with one of the tougher draws. www.tissottiming.com/2026/ctrwcii... #trackcycling #TrackWC

Signs of life at DerbyWheel! They - or more likely, their accountants - filed their annual Confirmation Statement with the UK companies registry yesterday. It's really just a heartbeat check to confirm they're still operational.

How hard is it to win a national championship medal? It depends where you are. UCI data shows there were 4 national keirin championships last year with only two entrants... and two women took home their national titles unopposed. globalkeirin.com/2026/04/how-...

There are new world number ones in both the men's and women's UCI rankings this morning. Neither of them are in the pictures below. 🤨 globalkeirin.com/2026/04/new-...

Hoogland 🇳🇱 takes the win at Gent, ahead of Nulens 🇧🇪 and Turnbull 🇬🇧 . In the women's it's a GB🇬🇧 1-2-3 (technically, a 1-2-3-5-6): Edmunds, from Capewell, from Moir. #trackcycling

Keirin finals coming up shortly in Gent. 5 of the 6 female finalists are 🇬🇧 GB: good luck, 🇧🇪 Zita Gheysens! Only 3 Brits in the men's final, facing Nulens 🇧🇪 & Hoogland 🇳🇱 ... but 5 more in the 7-12. 😳 ibtm2026.veloresults.com

Meanwhile - the men's keirin at the Belgian Intl in Gent has been brutal: you had to win your first round or rep to make the semis. 8 of the last 12 are from 🇬🇧 GB! Similar story in the women's: 6/12 from 🇬🇧 GB! Results as we get them: globalkeirin.com/event/d2d8a9...

Yuan Liying 🇨🇳 goes unbeaten on the day, taking the win in Hong Kong, ahead of Burlakova and Finucane 🇬🇧 . She did the same last month, to win the Asian title. Full results: globalkeirin.com/event/4162d0... (📷 Tissot) #trackcycling #TrackWC

Women's keirin final in Hong Kong will be: 🇨🇳 Wang, 🇨🇳 Yuan, 🇨🇴 Cuadrado, 🇬🇧 Finucane, 🇯🇵 Sato, Burlakova. Can the Chinese riders go 1-2, as they did last time out at Asian champs? #trackcycling #TrackWC

Van de Wouw 🇳🇱 , Verdugo 🇲🇽 , Vece 🇮🇹 & Veronika (Jabornikova) 🇨🇿 out in the early rounds of the women's keirin at UCI Track World Cup in HK. Results & semi start lists: globalkeirin.com/event/4162d0...

🚨 We found video of today's dramatic first round rep crash, and Nikita Kiriltsev's run to the finish. It's as wild as you were expecting. Chapeau, Nikita! globalkeirin.com/2026/04/kiri... #TrackWC #trackcycling

Today's men's results, and tomorrow's women's start lists for Track World Cup in Hong Kong: globalkeirin.com/event/4162d0... Seven heats for the women! - only the winner goes straight to r2.

Made a few changes to the GK website's databank. Race results now open inline within an event page, so you can see multiple races at once; and race lists can be filtered by event and gender, where relevant. Links in website footer! globalkeirin.com

Lavreysen 🇳🇱 takes gold in HK! Second Ota 🇯🇵, third Nakano 🇯🇵. #TrackCycling #TrackWC

Hoffman wins the minor final - with hero of the day Nikita Kiriltsev second, for 8th place overall. #TrackCycling #TrackWC

In case anyone else is wondering: UCI regulation 1.2.109 states: 'A rider may cross the finish line on foot, provided that they have their bicycle with them.' So yes, Kiriltsev did the right thing, slinging the bike over his shoulder, and running for it. (📷 swpix) #TrackCycling

Don't let it go un-noticed, by the way: Kiriltsev ran in to claim second in his first round rep whilst wearing cleats. #TrackCycling #TrackWC

UCI issued a warning at Track World Cup in Hong Kong: 'smart glasses' which include integrated cameras and data transmission capabilities are not compliant with regulations, and are therefore strictly prohibited in all UCI Track competitions.

Men's keirin final in HK will be: 🇨🇳 Li, 🇫🇷 Derache, 🇭🇰 To, 🇯🇵 Nakano, 🇯🇵 Ota, 🇳🇱 Lavreysen. Fantastic for the home crowd to see the HK champ in there. Minor final is super strong too: 🇦🇺 Hoffman, 🇨🇳 Xie, 🇬🇧 Richardson, 🇮🇱 Yakovlev, 🇹🇹 Paul, and Kiriltsev. #TrackCycling #TrackWC

Kiriltsev's ride - er, or should that be run? - to progress from his first round rep this morning deserved an article of its own. Great photos from Alex at swpix. globalkeirin.com/2026/04/kiri...

Amazing pictures of Kiriltsev finishing on foot, to get through his first round rep - with Geneway Tang closing in behind, on two wheels. (PLEASE, somebody, post video of this.) 📷 Alex Whitehead / swpix

The crash which took down everyone but Derache in the first round reps. Kiriltsev - on his back, in the middle - got up to claim the second qualifying spot. 📷 Alex Whitehead / swpix

Big name casualties in the early rounds at Track World Cup Hong Kong: Barber, Spiegel, both Sahroms, Ortega, Quintero. Great job by hometown hero Cheuk Hei To for snatching another TWC semi final spot! Start lists: www.tissottiming.com/2026/ctrwcii...

Eight heats of 6 or 7 riders to begin Saturday's men's keirin at Track World Cup Hong Kong: so many, it (briefly) broke our GK database. Only the winner gets through in the first round rides, everyone else to reps. globalkeirin.com/event/4162d0...

Nulens & Hoogland are the standout names in the men's keirin at this weekend's Belgian International at Ghent. GB 🇬🇧 sending a huge contingent of sprinters, making up 30% of the men's field, and 40% of the women's! www.belgiancycling.be/disciplines/...

UCI TWC in HK this weekend: men's keirin is Saturday, women's is Sunday. Good to see a full two-session day on Sunday for the women's event. Even those doing reps will get a good couple of hours to recover before semis - unlike other recent UCI events. www.tissottiming.com/2026/ctrwcii...
