Paris 2024 Olympic Games cycling schedule: when to watch the racing

Men's Keirin at Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Road races

The 2024 Paris Olympics are almost upon us already, with 22 gold medals on offer across the fortnight for people on bikes.

Cycling takes place almost all the way through from start to finish with road cycling one of the opening events of the Games.

The day after the opening ceremony the men's and women's time trials take place on a 32.4km route into Paris, before the road races take place the next weekend.

There is also a lot of  track cycling, which takes place between 5 August and the final day of the Games on 11 August. There are six track events: the team pursuit, the omnium, the Madison, the sprint, the team sprint, and the keirin.

Elsewhere, there'll be the women's and men's cross-country mountain biking races, which take place on Sunday 28 July and Monday 29 July, respectively.

Finally there's the two BMX events, making their return for the second time, Freestyle and the Racing. The Freestyle takes place on Tuesday 30 and Wednesday 31 July, with the Racing on Thursday 1 and Friday 2 August.
