An omnium (from Latin omnium: of all, belonging to all) is a multiple race event in track cycling.Historically the omnium has had a variety of formats. In recent years, road racing has also adopted the term to describe multi-day races that feature the three primary road race events (time trial, mass start and criterium).
The tempo race is the second event of the new Omnium format. It lasts 7.5 km (30 laps on a 250-m-track) for women and 10 km (40 laps on a 250-m-track) for men. During this race one point is awarded to the first rider each lap from the end of the fifth lap. If a rider gains a lap, they score 20 points; if a rider loses a lap, they lose 20 points.
