For the Olympic road race: Swiss men get only two starting places

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

The starting field for the men’s Olympic road race has been reduced to 90 riders. Two of them will be Swiss.

The distribution of quota places for the 2024 Olympic road race in Paris has been announced. Switzerland can work with two men and four women next summer.

The quota is calculated on the basis of the country rankings published by the UCI, the world cycling association, at the end of this WorldTour season. Switzerland ranks 11th among men, while women rank 4th, behind the Netherlands, Italy and Belgium. The top 5 per gender receive the maximum number of starting places. For men these are Belgium, Denmark, Slovenia, Great Britain and host country France.

In 2024, for the first time, as many women as men will participate in the Summer Games in Paris, namely 90 each. This means a drastic reduction in the size of the men’s field compared to before. In the two individual time trials, in which 35 men and 35 men may start, Switzerland will be represented by two participants and one female participant next August. (SDA/dti)
