It was all happening at the Shepparton velodrome on Wednesday with the Shepparton Christmas Track Carnival being held.
The annual event pits cyclists from across nation against each other, with more than 100 competitors entering junior and senior categories.
The annual event took on an increased significance this year, with the COVID-19 pandemic and recent Shepparton floods impacting the cycling community.
With plenty of action across the day News photographer Megan Fisher went to the track to capture the action.
