UCI track world championships 1990

The 80th UCI Track World Championships took place in August 1990 in the Green Dome of the Japanese city ​​of Maebashi .

Fifteen decisions were held, twelve for men (five for professionals and seven for amateurs ) and three for women.

These world championships also had a historical dimension for the German cyclists: the presidents of the associations, Werner Göhner from the Association of German Cyclists , and Wolfgang Schoppe from the German Cycling Association of the GDR , cleared away the bars between the bunks of the two teams. However, it was not a spontaneous act, but rather carefully planned by the presidents of both associations, who toasted the “ fall of the wall ” between the teams with champagne. “And despite all the thoughtfulness, the mood was soon overflowing and characterized by cautious optimism. You will get used to each other in German cycling, even if some things seem strange now. Or at least unfamiliar. ”Schoppe presented Göhner with the last jersey of the GDR national railway team, the BDR President reciprocated by giving Carsten Wolf , who was celebrating his birthday that day, the new, shared German jersey. The BDR agency had already worn this jersey in Maebashi.

The Chemnitz athlete Michael Hübner won two titles and thus became the only professional world champion in the GDR for all time.
