Dear Cycling track race participant,

We have reached a critical phase in the organization of the worldOutgames 2013: the Late Registration period. Time to reflect on our sports programme.

For each sport on our programme we have worked hard to reach a critical mass for each tournament. We are aiming at both professional and recreational competitions. Although we already received over 3000 registrations so far, there seems to be a lack of interest for the cycling track race competition. We have therefore been forced to make the difficult decision to cancel this competition.
