Organisers of the BMX cycling event at the Baku 2015 European Games have agreed a change in the competition schedule in response to concerns over potential high winds at the BMX Velopark this weekend. The men's and women's motos sections of the programme - originally scheduled for 14:30 on Saturday 27 June - have been moved forward to 17:00 on Friday 26 June. They will take place after the qualifying time trials which begin at 14:30.
There will be no racing or training on Saturday, with the semifinals and finals due to be raced as planned on Sunday 28 June from 15:00.
