PREVIEW | 2024 Paris Olympic Games women's time-trial - Can Chloe Dygert add Olympic to World Title? Brown, Longo Borghini, van Dijk and Vollering among main rivals

On the 27th of July both men and women tackle one of the most important races of the year. The Olympic Games begin and on this Saturday the best time-trialists go head to head in Paris to fight for the Olympic title.

The course in Paris is rather simple. Both men and women will race on the exact same roads which will make for an interesting watch, and the race against the clock has been built in a way that will test out the riders' pure abilities to race on flat roads.

There will be no climbing involved and the course is not technical at all. The 32.5 kilometers should see speeds of around 53Km/h average in the men's field and 48Km/h in the women's field. Every second may count and every detail will matter in anticipation for this race. In it's middle section there are a few corners to be tackled but the reality is that almost the entirety of the time-trial is straightforward, non-technical and will allow the specialists to make good use of their abilities.

*** Chloé Dygert, Grace Brown
** Elisa Longo Borghini, Ellen van Dijk, Demi Vollering
* Lotte Kopecky, Juliette Labous, Emma Norsgaard, Anna Henderson, Christina Schweinberger, Anna Kiesenhoffer, Taylor Knibb

Pick: Grace Brown
