The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris are just around the corner, with each of the multiple cycling disciplines promising to be some of the most thrilling events on offer. With a home crowd cheering them on, French riders will be aiming for glory, but challengers from around the world will be vying for gold. Here's a glimpse into what awaits cycling fans at Paris 2024:
The Vélodrome National de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines will be the stage for intense battles in sprint and endurance disciplines, including the individual sprint, team sprint, keirin, and omnium races. With Britain's Hamish Turnbull aiming to emulate Sir Chris Hoy's past heroics, and the ever-present challenge from other powerhouse nations, the track battles promise to be fierce.
The purpose-built course at Fort de Vincennes promises an exhilarating display of technical skill and physical prowess. With challenging terrain and demanding climbs, the mountain bike competition will be a true showcase of off-road skills. As the French team will undoubtedly be riding a wave of home support, look out for Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, a strong contender in the women's event.
The iconic roads of France will host the men's and women's road races, offering a gruelling test of strength and strategy. Team GB's Tom Pidcock, doubling up disciplines in road racing as well as mountain biking, could be a strong contender.
The adrenaline-pumping action of BMX racing and freestyle will return to Paris 2024. Riders will battle it out on the BMX track, pushing the limits of speed and control, while freestyle competitors will wow the crowds with gravity-defying tricks.
The Paris Olympics will also be a chance to witness the emergence of new stars and celebrate the spirit of cycling. Whether it's a daring breakaway or a selfless act of sportsmanship, the stories unfolding on the velodrome, road, and mountain bike course will leave a lasting impression.
