Road cycling Olympic Games 2024 schedule

Road cycling plays a prominent role in Paris during the Olympic Games.

The major countries start the road race with four riders, while the Netherlands, in the category below, starts with three riders.

The course for both the men’s and women’s road race is designed to offer opportunities for both climbers and sprinters, making for a dynamic and unpredictable race. There is much to look forward to for Dutch fans, as TeamNL has strong medal contenders. Mathieu van der Poel is the leader for the men’s team, while Demi Vollering is competing for the women’s team. The men’s race will also feature top riders such as Wout van Aert, Tadej Pogacar, Remco Evenepoel and Tom Pidcock.

2024 Olympic Games Mountain Bike Schedule

No Mathieu van der Poel, because he focuses entirely on the road race. So there will be no Dutch men at the start of the Olympic mountain bike event. The women’s team, however, has plenty of medal chances for TeamNL, with Puck Pieterse and Anne Terpstra at the start. They will face stiff competition from top favorite Pauline Ferrand-Prevot. In the men’s race, all eyes are on defending champion Tom Pidcock from Great Britain.

Track cycling program Olympic Games 2024

Track cycling, a sport known for its speed, strategy and above all, sheer power. This discipline is held at the Velodrome in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. The races range from short sprints to long distance races and everything in between, whether it is one-on-one or in a small peloton. In Paris, the best track cyclists in the world compete for gold, silver and bronze in various events, including the Sprint, Keirin and Team Pursuit.

What makes track cycling so fascinating is the combination of explosive power and technical finesse. Races are often decided at the last moment, with every millisecond counting. Expectations for the Netherlands are high. The country has a rich history in track cycling and hopes to once again achieve success at the Olympic Games in Paris with riders such as Harrie Lavreysen and Jeffrey Hoogland.
