2012 UCI World Juniors Track Championships
In 2012 the ILT Velodrome will host the Juniors World Track Cycling Championships. In June 2009, the UCI awarded the 2012 Championships to Invercargill following a joint bid by BikeNZ and Cycling Southland. It is the second time New Zealand has hosted the event which was last held outdoors at Wanganui in 1983, while BikeNZ also staged the 2006 Mountain Bike World Championships in Rotorua and the UCI Mountain Bike Trials World Cup in 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or track:
“Today the world changes so quickly that in growing up we take leave not just of youth but of the world we were young in.... Fear and resentment of what is new is really a lament for the memories of our childhood.”
—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
“If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
