MORE THAN 400 ELITE TRACK CYCLISTS COMPETE THIS WEEKEND AT THE HOME DEPOT CENTER

Record Number of Competitors Likely to Alter Event Schedule

Carson, Calif. (January 15, 2007)–The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Track Cycling World Cup Classics return to the United States Jan. 18-20, 2008 at the ADT Event Center at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.

More than 400 athletes from over 40 countries, including the United States, have confirmed their participation in the three-day event at The Home Depot Center. Due to the high volume of athletes, additional races and heats may be added, and the event schedule is subject to change. Fans, ticket holders and media members are encourage to visit www.homedepotcenter.com or www.usacycling.org early Friday morning, as Session 1 on both Friday and Saturday may start as early as two hours prior to the ticketed start time.

World Cup races are amongst the most prestigious on the UCI calendar, providing riders and countries the opportunity to qualify for the 2008 Olympic Games in China. After stops in Sydney and Beijing, the Los Angeles event is the third of the four-race World Cup series in the 2007-08 season. Because there is no qualification system for the World Cup series, entries cannot be precisely foreseen. In a year where more than double the amount of athletes is competing as in previous years, additional races and heats may be added to accommodate the record number of participants, which will result in an earlier start time on Friday and Saturday, when qualification events will be held.

Tickets start as low as $20.00, and all-session ticket packages (includes six sessions over three days) are available as low as $75. All-event packages and group tickets are on sale now through the AEG Ticket Sales Office by calling 1-877-AEG-TICKETS (1-877-234-8425).
