Classification edit
Cyclists are given a classification depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allows cyclists to compete against others with a similar level of function. The class number indicates the severity of impairment with "1" being most impaired.
Track cycling classes are:[1]
- B: Blind and visually impaired cyclists use a tandem bicycle with a sighted pilot on the front.
- C 1–5: Cyclists with an impairment that affects their legs, arms and/or trunk, but are capable of using a standard bicycle.
