A guy said it was the equivalent of going up 6% to get to the top. Wondering in what way that would be correct.
In the way that if you rolled 50m while gaining 3m of elevation, that would be 6%. The actual average slope on the track depends on how much of a diagonal you take to get from the black line to the fence. Going straight on at the end of the straight is more like 30%, while slowly creeping up the track over more than a lap might be less than 1%.

Velodrome Banking.
Does anyone have any information on the equivalent hill gradient to where you cycle on the velodrome banking?

Many thanks.
