That velodrome is smaller than I thought. Do you know the banking

Same: 47. 'Het Kuipke' in Gent is 166 m long and 50.6 degrees. Brutal.
Makes sense, as they're built to what look like identical dimensions.
Given that our track was built in the 1990s, it may have been modeled
after Sloten.
In Ontario, there's the Forest City Velodrome:

138m! Apparently 50 degrees as well.
