Madison: This event is contested by teams of two, with one rider from each team in the race at any given time. It is run either as a scratch race or a points race and has teams made up of two riders. One rider is in the race, while the other rests, either by slowy circling above the stayers line (blue line) or by hanging on to the rail until they replace their partner. Winner is the first team across the line after a set distance.
Team Scratch: Simply the fastest team across the finish line over a set distance wins.
Team Pursuit: Two teams of varying size, starting at opposite sides of the track chasing one another. The winner is the team who completes the perscribed distance first or catches the opposing team.
Team Time Trial: Two teams of varying size, starting at opposite sides of the track and racing against the clock over varying distances.
Italian Team Pursuit: Like a Team Pursuit, but the “Italian” version can have more riders. As each rider does a turn, at the front, they pull off until it is a one on one race to the finish line at the end. The team that completes the set distance the fastest is the winner.
