For the third consecutive edition, the Vélodrome de Bretagne, located in Loudéac in the Côtes-d'Armor department, will host the French Track Cycling Junior Championships. The competition will run from 28 October to 1 November 2026 and will bring together the country's top young riders, who will contest several events on the Breton track.
This fixture is part of a arrangement that has become established over the years. The Breton venue's loyalty in staging the event reflects the importance attached to developing young track cyclists, a demanding discipline that calls for speed, endurance and tactical mastery. For the riders involved, it represents an important showcase before the next stages of their careers.
The week's programme will feature the various specialities of track cycling. The sprint, pursuit and points race events offer young riders the opportunity to demonstrate their qualities. Starts and qualifying rounds will follow one another throughout the championships, ahead of the finals that will conclude each discipline.
While the definitive list of favourites remains to be confirmed pending final entries and recent form, the event is eagerly anticipated by clubs, coaches and families alike. It also gives the local public a chance to follow closely riders who could make their mark on the national and international stage in the years ahead.
Beyond the competition itself, hosting the event reinforces Loudéac's standing in the French track cycling landscape. The organisers hope the championships will help keep the discipline alive among young people and enhance the training facilities in the region.
