The British Olympic Association has named the first 20 cyclists who will represent Team GB at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The first wave of participants focuses on endurance track disciplines, road and mountain bike events, while other sports are to be announced next week.
A strong qualifying campaign resulted in Team GB qualifying two women’s and two men’s spots in the mountain bike events for the first time. "Commonwealth Champion Evie Richards will contest the women’s title, while rising star Ella Maclean-Howell will make her first appearance at Olympic level."
"Another Games debutant will be current under-23 World Champion Charlie Aldridge who will be joined by current Olympic and World Champion Tom Pidcock, who has his sights set on two targets in Paris, as a member of both the mountain bike and road teams. Joining Pidcock in the road race will be 2023 national road champion Fred Wright, Stevie Williams and Josh Tarling, who all make their Olympic debut."
"After a string of blistering time-trial performances, including a European title and a world championship bronze medal, Tarling will also be aiming to make his mark in the time-trial event, alongside Ethan Hayter, who will later transfer to the men’s track endurance squad."
"The final week of the cycling competition will see action on the velodrome where Hayter will look to add more to his Olympic collection as part of the five-strong men’s endurance team, joining Ollie Wood, Charlie Tanfield, Ethan Vernon and debutant Dan Bigham, in what is set to be a fiercely contested men’s team pursuit event."
"The women’s sprint trio head to Paris having qualified a team sprint squad for the first time since London 2012. Katy Marchant leads the squad into her third Olympic Games, while World and European individual sprint Champion Emma Finucane and teammate Sophie Capewell will make their Olympic debuts on the boards. Tokyo silver and bronze medallist Jack Carlin heads up the men’s sprint squad for his second Games, alongside debutants Hamish Turnbull and 20-year-old Ed Lowe. "

- What!! 5 million for a martinez and a Remco and Vingegaard as well. Something is seriously wrong. Should be 5 mil in 3 years probably.abstractengineer08-11-2024
- Remco could definitely lose a couple kilograms. That would help him a lot if he can keep his sustained power which is likely at his age. Above all else though, he needs support. He would have definitely been second if he had Jonas' supportVeganpotter08-11-2024
- van der poel is, what, 29? probably gonna be looking pretty good for this list by the time he walks away in 5 or 6 years.OCexile08-11-2024
- Jonas will be strong next year, he came into the Tour so lightweight after his injuries in that crash. I feel like he'll be focused and ready to go. That said Tadej is going to be tough to beat but it can happen. Should be a great Tour.awp08-11-2024
- It's going to be a great fight! I hope JV gets there in shape, Pogi aswell! And, I hope the Giro wont be a goal, but the Vuelta instead. Let Wout do his Giro (or Jorgensen as GC he can still do the Tour after or the Vuelta) Then, JV and Pogi, will have a match in both the Tour and the Vuelta! (Given Pogi goes for the Tour-Vuelta this time)Stitz08-11-2024
