THE DUTCH HARRIE LAVREYSEN AND JEFFREY HOOGLAND WILL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN, THIS TIME AT THE CALI VELODROME.
Santiago de Cali continues to be a privileged city with the holding of the UCI TISSOT Cali 2022 Cup of Nations, taking into account that the catwalk of stars continues to grow as the registrations of the 39 countries and the 4 professional teams that will arrive are confirmed. Valle del Cauca capital.
This time the news comes from the Netherlands with the presence on their roster of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic champions, Harrie Lavreysen and Jeffrey Hoogland, today the fastest men on the planet, by also becoming champions in the track cycling world championships.
The Alcides Nieto Patiño track will be the stage to see these speed giants face off again, surely reliving what was the grand Olympic speed final in Tokyo 2020. Lavreysen and Hoogland faced each other for gold, leaving the dispute from the bronze to two other speed greats, the British Jack Carlin who won the medal and the Russian Denis Dmitriev. Harrie Lavreysen took the gold with a record of 10,861
It will be a great opportunity to see a show worthy of the best velodromes in the world and at the height of the Olympic Games and world championships. The Dutch ended the speed supremacy of countries like Germany, France and Great Britain.

The most important velodromes in the world have received him and he has left his mark on them, which he will surely leave on the Cali velodrome as well.
