TICKETS go on sale today for the first major event to be staged in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow.

The second round of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classics will take place in the venue in November.

And organisers are hoping to attract some of Team GB's gold medal cyclists to the event.

The team included Sir Chris Hoy, winner of seven Olympic Games medals, six gold and one silver.

Jonny Clay, cycle sport and membership director at British Cycling, said: "The Track World Cup in Glasgow is the first opportunity for people to see the GB cycling team in international action after the Olympic Games.

"The event promises to be a great spectacle for cycling fans as our GB athletes prepare for the 2014 Commonwealth Games and set off on the road to Rio 2016."

Simon Morton, director of major events at UK Sport, said: "The Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow will be one of the world's best venues for track cycling and our fans are in for a real treat."

Glasgow Life chairman Archie Graham said: "The London 2012 Olympic Games captured the imagination of the nation with the sensational performances of the Team GB cycling team among the real highlights.

"The atmosphere at the Olympic velodrome was incredible and we can't wait to get a taste of that when the Track World Cup comes to the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.

"As we look ahead to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, the Track World Cup will give people the chance to see just what they can expect when the world's top cyclists go for gold in our new velodrome."

Tickets will go on sale to British Cycling members today at 2pm then on general sale on August 22 at noon.
