2014 UCI Track Cycling World Championships: live stream, start time, TV info and more
By Josh Sanchez
On Wednesday, the 2015 UCI Track Cycling World Championships begin with 31 nations competing in 19 total events. Many of the events that will take place in Cali, Colombia are Olympic events, so this will be an early look at some of the favorites who will begin gaining momentum for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.
Like the events in the Olympics, top three finishers will receive gold, silver and bronze.
In past years, France and Great Britain have dominated the events, so look for riders from those nations to emerge near the front of their fields again in 2014.
Here is all of the information you will need to tune in to the start of the 2014 UCI Track Cycling World Championships:
Date: Wednesday, Feb. 26
Start Time: 12 p.m. ET
