This is a question for rbr readers in Europe that I hope you can answer for
me. I was performing a web-search on my family name today for a genealogy search. Surprisingly, a
hit for "Velodrome La Cipale" appeared.
From what I can glean (in the very little English written about this track) the velodrome is also
named for Jacques Anquietil and, if I read old race reports correctly, been used as the finsh for a
few UCI races.
I am curious as to how this oval was named. My grandfather immigrated from Italy around the turn of
the 20th century. All I know of him is that he lived on the Adriatic coast of Italy. My father,
aunts and uncles know very little, other than that.
Any help on this would be graciously appreciated! You can reply to my email address if you have any
information.
Thank you!
