Two comments: 1) Brescia is a great region for cycling. Is all of Lago di Garda actually within that province? 2) I believe that all UCI sanctioned championships already must be conducted on 250 meter velodromes. That's another difference between Japanese (and Korean) Keirin and "International" Keirin.
