Cycling, Paris 2024 Games: unveiled the circuit with Montmartre and the Champs-Elysees

There will be 90 runners competing in the online race for men and 90 for women: it will be the first edition with gender equality. A time trial will be 35 participants at the start

The passage in the Trocadero area in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, the climb in the Pigalle area that launches towards Montmartre. And finally the Champs-Elysees to frame the arrival that will award the gold medal of the Olympic test at the 2024 Paris Games (from 26 July to 11 August). These are some of the most fascinating passages of the Olympic test route that was unveiled yesterday by the UCI (the International Cycling Union). The UCI has confirmed that for the first time in the history of the Games, all cycling competitions will have the same number of male and female athletes in the lists of participants.

Participants

A total of 180 qualifying places will be assigned for the two races (88 places per gender, plus two per gender for the host country). For the road race, a total of 80 qualifying spots will be awarded according to the UCI Road World Ranking by nations. The remaining eight places by gender will be assigned to Nations, not qualified through the UCI Road World Ranking, based on their results at the Uci Road World Championships 2023 and the Continental Championships 2023 (excluding Europe and Oceania). There are 35 places for men and 35 for women for the individual time trials.
