Yes, this rule also applies to track bikes, which is pretty silly since track bikes are inherently lighter than road bikes. Mercifully, this only applies at national and world championship events, so you don't have to worry about this at local events. Nonetheless, very few competitive track bikes weigh under 6.8kg, as most riders opt for stiffness and strength over light weight.
