Joshua Tarling wants to combine road and track at Paris Olympics: "I’d like to do the team pursuit and maybe Madison"

Joshua Tarling won't be the only Ineos Grenadiers riders planning to compete both on road and at the track at 2024 Olympic Games. Following in the footsteps of Filippo Ganna, the British wonderkid would like to add to his collection of European Championships gold and World Championships bronze in Paris.

"Ganna’s the best pursuit rider in the world and Elia’s probably the best bunch rider in the world, so I couldn’t have better company for it," Tarling told Cyclingnews about his teammates.

"It depends on how it goes, but ideally I’d like to do the team pursuit and maybe the Madison at the Olympics," Tarling said about the events he would like to participate. "I’ve qualified for the World Cup here, just after Cadel’s, so I’ll do that and see how it goes," he expresses the intention to start at the Adelaide World Cup.

"Last year went really well and I can go into more races now with confidence that I can actually do something in them. We know there’s room to improve," Tarling said. "This year I can be a good helper, I understand the bunch really well, and I can have my opportunities when they come in time trials and maybe a road stage at some point."
