Australia To Miss 2021 Junior Track World Championships

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and current international travel restrictions, the Australian Cycling Team has determined not to send a National team to compete at the 2021 UCI U19 Junior Track World Championships in Cairo, Egypt, 5th – 9th April 2021.

AusCycling considered a range of factors in making the decision including, the most up to date DFAT position, the current COVID-19 situation in both the host country and Australia, information from the UCI and the health of athletes and staff.

Simon Jones, Performance Director said, “We understand this is a very disappointing outcome for our athletes, and so to ensure the ongoing development of our best juniors, the Australian Cycling Team will host a national training camp in Adelaide from the 12-17 April, following the Track Nationals, COVID and state border restrictions permitting”.

Performance standards for the camp will be the same published for the 2021 UCI U19 Junior Track World Championships and can be found on the AusCycling website: http://ow.ly/OG3T50DtR6E
