Vélodrome G

Sometimes (hum...), the political world gives us aberrations from an infrastructure point of view.
The place visited today is a prime example. Composed of a velodrome and a grandstand, the site was inaugurated with great fanfare at the time. Twenty years later, we find a completely abandoned site. Here is public money well invested !
Why such a scenario ? At first glance, a very relative build quality : we can no longer count the cracks on the track where the vegetation grows without problem.
Next, a stand with 2,477 seats for which attendance ? In addition, no seat or amenities are present on site. Note that this grandstand comes from a football stadium in the region.
Finally, was it really useful ? Given the non-use of the velodrome, the answer was quickly found.

The entrance to the center of the velodrome. This directly announces the mood...

I who hate tags, I'm served !

This track is only 20 years old. Hard to believe when you see its condition.

The runway is almost unusable : the degree of inclination corresponds to that of the covered runways. Genius !

When it rains, it's an ice rink.

As for the stand, there too, it's also funny.

Stunning views but if you suffer from vertigo don't go up there.

There too, an inclination that is far too important.

The steps are ridiculously small. Beware of missteps !

We can still see the seat fixings, dating from the presence of this stand in a football stadium.

Go on, get on your bicycles and play sports !
