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. "

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
