By Elena Gorelchik: For the first time in history the Minsk bicycle track hosts the final stage of the Track Cycling World Cup. About three hundred athletes are competing for medals. Among the main favorites are the teams of France, the Netherlands, Poland and Russia.

In total, 17 sets of awards will be competed for in Minsk in 9 types of the program. But the final stage of the World Cup is an opportunity not only to win one more title. The competition serves also as self-control before the February World Cup in Apeldoorn.

After the first day, Belarusian athletes were left without medals. Inna Savenko showed the sixth result in the group race by points.
