It includes the six specialties on the programme for the Olympic games - keirin, madison, omnium, sprint, team pursuit and team sprint.

Elimination, individual pursuit, points race, time trials and scratch races are also on the schedule.

This is also the first time the championships have been held at Velódromo Peñalolén in Santiago.
