Omnisport Apeldoorn
The home of Dutch track cycling. The world championships were raced here in 2011 and 2018. The track sits in a big round hall under a sloping silver roof. Its pale wooden boards were laid new in 2016. Tall stands rise along both straights, and only a few rows of seats fit behind the bends.
