Road cycling edit
This section tabulates the heads of qualification in a form suitable to be filled in as events progress. The full qualification rules[2] for cycling (road) published by UCI contain intricate conditions too lengthy for inclusion in Wikipedia. |
A total of 180 cyclists (90 per gender) will race through the Paris 2024 course. Each NOC could enter a maximum of eight riders (four per gender) in road cycling with specific parameters: a maximum of four in the men's and women's road races and two in the men's and women's road time trial. The majority of the berths will be attributed to a specific number of riders per NOC based on the UCI Road World Ranking list by nations for the 2022–2023 season.[12]
As the host country, France reserves a single men's and women's quota place in the road race. If one or two French cyclists qualify directly and regularly, their spare slots will be reallocated to the next highest-ranked eligible NOCs in the aforementioned events based on the national order of the UCI World Ranking list by 17 October 2023. The remainder of the total quota will be offered to the two highest-ranked NOCs (each composed of a single rider) vying for qualification at three of the continental meets (Africa, Asia, and the Americas) and at the 2023 UCI World Championships in Glasgow and its outlying areas across Scotland.[12][2]
For the time trial, thirty-five spots per gender will be awarded to the NOCs ranked 1 to 25 from the UCI World Ranking list, respecting the minimum continental distribution, and the rest with only a single quota place each from the 2023 Worlds.[12]
