Olympics-Rio cancels cycling test because velodrome is not ready (Reuters)
(Adds quote) RIO DE JANEIRO, March 24 (Reuters) – Rio Olympics organisers have cancelled the only test event for the indoor cycling at this year’s Games because the velodrome will not be ready in time, a spokesman said on Thursday. The event was due to take place on April 30 and May 1 but logistical problems mean the velodrome will not be ready until at least May 31. “The track cycling test event has been cancelled and will be replaced by a training opportunity June 25th through the 27th,” Mario Andrada told reporters.
