The vote was unanimous for the brand new Chicago Velo Campus to be named ATRA's first velodrome of the year. The voting was largely influenced by the miraculous efforts of the mostly volunteer crew who helped erect this 166m velodrome in just 36 days. So congratulations to Emanuele and the team over

The points have been updated and once again we have another lead change at the top of the mens standings. The see-sawing battle between Project London's Kevin Mansker and Broadmark Capitals' Dan Harm has been raging over the past few events, with Mansker taking the lead with one race to go after some great performances at the US Grand Prix of Sprinting at the USOTC Velodrome in Colorado Springs.
