The Ciutat de Barcelona International Trophy – Miquel Poblet Memorial – celebrated on 16 September at Horta Velodrome, was once again a cycling spectacle on track. The fact that 25 years of the Olympic Games of Barcelona ’92 were celebrated, created in the atmosphere a special sensation.

Up to 75 participants from around the world raced in different tests in the first installation of the Olympic Games. The best ‘pistards’ in the country were also: the scratch world champion Sebastián Mora and the Olympic Helena Casas, Tania Calvo and Juan Peralta.

In a festive atmosphere and accompanied by the sun – the rain the previous day did delay a few hours the start of the day was divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon. The audience can enjoy the specialties of punctuation, elimination, scratch, speed and keirin.
