The Vélodrome Couvert Régional Jean Stablinski is a hall with a cycling track in Roubaix in northern France . The sports facility opened in September 2012 and is located next to the Roubaix open cycle track , where the Paris – Roubaix race traditionally ends. The velodrome is named after the French cyclist and road world champion Jean Stablinski .
The planning for a new 250-meter-long cycle track with a hall began in 2008. The project manager was the former French world-class sprinter Arnaud Tournant , who was also in charge of the track from 2012 to 2014. The total cost of construction was 25 million euros. Next to the hall is a terrain with a slope for BMX races. The interior of the Velodrome is also intended for badminton tournaments. The Velodrome has a capacity of 3300 spectators, 1500 of them in the grandstands. The velodrome is intended as the center of a national training center.
The Vélodrome Couvert Régional Jean Stablinski (short: Stab Vélodrome or le Stab ) was opened on September 15, 2012. The first driver to officially use the train was Jean Stablinski's grandson, Alexis. In 2013 the French rail championships were held there.
The velodrome also has a BMX course (still under construction here).
The velodrome was named after Jean Stablinski.
