Cycle speedway takes place on a banked oval track, usually over 4 laps of a 70 to 90 metre circuit. On a shale surface, four riders compete either in two teams or as individuals in a high speed explosive event that requires fitness, skill and tactical awareness. Each race begins from a standing start with a unique rising gate, typically lasting for 40 to 50 seconds.
Physical contact is allowed and is often necessary to compete at the top level. Riders need to possess a good sprinting ability and also have the strength for contact with other riders and endurance to compete over a full meeting. Skills required include starting, passing, holding your position and tactical awareness.
