Three Days of Grenoble track meet cancelled due to financial and infrastructure problems

The Three Days of Grenoble, a historic track cycling event established in 1971, has been officially discontinued after organizers announced the venue's inadequacy. The velodrome in Grenoble, France, which recently tried to revive the event following a nine-year break, has been deemed unable to meet the necessary standards for hosting such high-level competitions. Despite the success of its latest editions in 2023 and 2024, financial sustainability proved impossible, leading to the event's cancellation, a decision filled with regret for those involved.

"We wanted to revive, together and with the athletes, the Palais des Sports track with an event that has long been part of the sporting and cultural heritage of the city and of cycling."

"High-level sport is not a show like any other. The Palais des Sports de Grenoble no longer offers the level of standard sufficient for the Three Days to be held in good conditions."
