250 cyclists will take part in the NEOM Titan Desert Saudi Arabia 2024 that will take place between the 18th and 22nd of November in the region of NEOM, in Saudi Arabia. It's a beastly race of more than 380 kilometers of distance to cover and almost 3,000 meters of accumulated altitude gain. This year, in addition to the 4 stages, there will be a 12-kilometer prologue with bonuses that will determine the starting order of the first stage.

Among the participants, it is worth mentioning the presence of three-time world champion Peter Sagan, who after retiring from road cycling continues to be very active touring the world and participating in many of the races to which he is invited to - much due to his spot as ambassador for Specialized.

The winner of the 2023 edition, Enrique Morcillo, is not on the list of participants, so two mythical peloton riders like Luis León Sánchez and Haimar Zubeldia, who came close to winning, will try again this year. Other illustrious names to note are Daniel Oss, Sagan's inseparable colleague, and former pro Koen de Kort.

In the women's field the favorite is the Dutch Tessa Kortekaas, four-time winner of the event. Eva Lamela and Moroj Adil are expected to be her great rivals.
