2011 UCI Track Cycling World Championships – Men's team sprint

Rainbow jersey

The Men's team sprint at the 2011 UCI Track Cycling World Championships was held on March 23. 18 nations of 3 cyclists each participated in the contest. After the qualifying, the fastest 2 teams raced for gold, and 3rd and 4th teams raced for bronze.[1]

In January 2012, the French team were stripped of their world title, following the nullification of Grégory Baugé's 2011 results after a 12-month backdated ban for drug test infringements.[2][3]
