Olympics-Rio cancels cycling test because velodrome is not ready

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.
