Olympic Games: Spain and France fight for one more cyclist with Il Lombardia as a key event
CyclingTuesday, 26 September 2023 at 14:00
Olympic suspense at the end of the cycling season with many UCI points at stake. The top five nations will be allowed to field a maximum of four riders in the Paris 2024 road race and positions are still up for grabs. There will be points until the Tour of Guangxi and the key moment will probably be at Il Lombardia.
Men's Ranking: Spain on the Hunt for France and Great Britain.
In the men's classification, Spain continues to struggle to close the gap with France and Great Britain, who currently occupy the coveted top 5 positions. The key is focused on the upcoming Italian classics such as Il Lombardia and the Tour of Guangxi, where riders like Enric Mas, Mikel Landa, Pello Bilbao, Carlos Rodríguez or Juan Ayuso could score key points to try to cut the 500 UCI points they are 500 points behind the French;
France, as Raul Banqueri explains in Lanterne Rouge, will rely on the great form of Pavel Sivakov, while Great Britain will put its trust mainly in the talented Yates brothers. The fight for the Olympic places remains intense and the outcome is expected to last until the Tour of Guangxi, leaving fans uncertain of the final result.
Women's qualification: Switzerland, Great Britain, France, Australia and Poland in the battle.
The women's rankings present an equally exciting contest, with Switzerland, Great Britain, France, Australia and Poland locked in a tight battle to secure a place in the top five nations. While Switzerland and Great Britain hold a significant lead at the moment, the two remaining Chinese women's WorldTour races on the calendar could change the picture in the blink of an eye.

UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
