About the men's and women's time trials: The road cycling time trials will be held one week before the first road race and also offer a host of new features. For the first time in the history of the Games, the 35 men and 35 women riders will be presented with the same course and the same distance. On Saturday 27 July 2024, the athletes will set off one by one from the Esplanade des Invalides for 32.4km of virtually incline-free terrain.
After the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, they will cross the Seine on Pont de Sully to reach Place de la Bastille. On reaching the Bois de Vincennes, the nods to sporting history begin. The Vélodrome Jacques Anquetil will be the first to be saluted for its monumental past: the venue hosted the Paris 1924 Games and was the finish line of the Tour de France from 1968 to 1974. The time trial course will then proceed to the Polygone de Vincennes, an extremely popular spot for Parisian cycling enthusiasts. Finally, the Institut National du Sport, de l'Expertise et de la Performance (INSEP) will signal the turnaround point.
The racers will reach the halfway point after a brief foray into the Val-de-Marne municipalities that border the capital. Leaving the Bois de Vincennes through its château, riders will return to Place de la Bastille, after Place de Nation, and rejoin the roads they took earlier in the opposite direction. The day after the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, the Pont Alexandre III bridge will once again take centre stage as the finish line for this race against the clock.

Saturday, Jul 27: Women's individual time trial: Esplanade des Invalides - Pont Alexandre, 32.4 km
Gold medalist Grace Brown racing on the wet streets of Paris.
Weather in the race city of Paris at 1:40 PM, local time: 18C (64F), rain, with the wind from the north at 5 m/hr (3 mph). The rain is forecast to continue through the afternoon.
The race: Here's the report from silver medalist Anna Henderson's team Visma | Lease a Bike:
Anna Henderson finished second in the Olympic time trial. The 25-year-old Briton had to settle for second place behind Grace Brown on the slippery circuit in the French capital. "I still can't believe it."
The flat course in Paris didn't offer many challenges on paper, but the rainfall caused extremely slippery roads. Henderson was one of the last to leave the start ramp. Along the way, the brand-new British time trial champion managed to set some fastest intermediate times. Among others, Grace Brown started after Henderson. The Australian eventually proved to be too strong for the opposition.
The battle for the silver medal was between Henderson and Chloe Dygert. At the line, Henderson was eventually a second faster than the American. "I still can't believe it", Henderson gloated afterwards. "Beforehand, I secretly felt I could make the podium, but to finish second after someone like Brown is incredible."
Silver medalist Anna Henderson
"On the road, I focused on my speed on the straights. The slippery corners were risky, so it was important to be careful. That's where you could lose the race. I was very happy I stayed on my bike today. When the last rider crossed the line, I burst into tears. I am very happy."
American racer Chloe Dygert looked to be heading for a gold medal, but she crashed on the slippery wet road and finished third.

Weather in the race city of Paris at 1:40 PM, local time: 18C (64F), rain, with the wind from the north at 5 m/hr (3 mph). The rain is forecast to continue through the afternoon.
The race: Here's the report from Gold Medalist Remco Evenepoel's Team Soudal Quick-Step.
One week after concluding his debut Tour de France on the podium after three incredible and memorable weeks, Remco Evenepoel added another huge win to his impressive palmares in the capital of France, which this year didn’t feature in the Grande Boucle for the first time in the race’s history.
His success, a dominant and impressive one on the charming streets of the city inextricably linked to the Roaring Twenties – a decade whose huge cultural influence is felt even today – confirmed that Evenepoel isn’t just one of the finest riders against the clock in the world, but in the entire history of the discipline.
Silver medalist Filippo Ganna
The 24-year-old Belgian has now won a time trial race at all three major international events, the National Championships and all three Grand Tours and is now sitting on a remarkable 57 victories since turning pro with Soudal Quick-Step in 2019.

About the road races: On Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 August 2024, starting from the Trocadéro, the men's and women's pelotons will go on a 5km procession to take in the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, Les Invalides and the Latin Quarter before the official start of the race on Rue Gay-Lussac in the 5th arrondissement. Athletes will then leave Paris, to return later in the afternoon.
For the first time in the history of the Games there will be an equal number of men and women participants with 90 men and 90 women racers going through the Hauts-de-Seine département via the Côte des Gardes hill (1.9km at 6%) in Meudon. Further on, they will catch a glimpse of the Château de Versailles, shining a global spotlight on this exceptional architectural icon that also serves as an Olympic and Paralympic competition venue.
Later, the Chevreuse Valley presents some challenging terrain for the men's and women's pelotons. Côte de Port-Royal (1km at 5%), Côte de Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse (1.3km at 6.3%) and Côte de Châteaufort (900m at 5.7%) with its memorial stone in honour of Jacques Anquetil, the first cyclist to win the Tour de France five times. A succession of tough inclines follow topped off by Côte de Cernay-la-Ville (1.1km at 3.9%) for the women, and Côte de Senlisse (1.3km at 5.3%), Côte d'Herbouvilliers (850m at 5.7%), and Côte de Bièvres (1.2km at 6.5%) for the men. These all present great opportunities for spectators to watch the racers pass by at a slower pace.
These first loops in the western part of the wider Parisian region, covering 225km for the men and 110km for the women, will also give spectators a glimpse of the other Olympic and Paralympic venues: the Golf National and the Vélodrome National in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, home of the French Cycling Federation.
La Butte Montmartre: ramping things up
The return into the capital, which goes past the Louvre, its Pyramid and the Opéra Garnier, heralds the final 50km of the race. No strangers to the Champs-Elysées in July at Le Tour, this time the men's and women's pelotons will head to the north-east of Paris where they will find a final segment of 18.4km, with technical bends and a tough cobbled climb on the Butte Montmartre (1km at 6.5%).
After two laps, the leading contenders will wage their final battle on the third ascent of the Butte Montmartre up towards the Sacré Coeur basilica, the last ramp before their downhill finale. The final 9.5km will take them onto Pont d’Iéna bridge, the setting for a 230m sprint finish towards the Trocadéro.
At the end of Pont d’Iéna and after 158km for the women and 273km for the men, iconic scenes will unfold as Olympic champions will be crowned and medals distributed with athletes raising their arms aloft to the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower.

Weather at the start/finish city of Paris at 1:40 PM, locla time: 23C (74F), cloudy, with the wind from the southwest at 11 km/hr (7 mph). No rain is forecast during the afternoon until 7:00 PM.
The race: The day's 273 kilometers is the longest distance ever for an Olympic road race. Remco Evenepoel is the first person ever to win both the time trial and the road race in the hisyory of the Olympics.
Here's the report from winner Remco Evenepoel's Team Soudal Quick-Step.
Remco Evenepoel left everyone speechless as he achieved glory in the most beautiful city in the world for the second time in the space of just a week, after blasting to an incredible victory at the end of a memorable race that cemented his status as one of the best riders in history.
It was a huge exhibition of panache from the Belgian, who produced a masterpiece as he continued his exceptional season on a course build around the iconic Montmartre – one of the most bohemian neighborhoods in the world and the place where the likes of Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso created artistic heritage.
Riders race in front of the huge crowd in front of Sacré-Coeur at Montmartre.
Third overall and winner of the white jersey at the Tour de France last month, Evenepoel did what he does best Saturday afternoon: on the string of short but hard climbs that punctuated one of the longest races of the year, Remco rode everyone off his wheel and arrived alone at the finish line situated just 200 meters from the most famous landmark of the city, where he had plenty of time to celebrate a resounding triumph and a magnificent double that no other male rider has achieved at the competition.

Weather at the start/finish city of Paris at 1:40 PM, local time: 23C (74F), cloudy, with the wind from the west at 11 mph. No rain is forecast for the afternoon.
The race: Here's the report from winner Kristen Faulkner's Team EF-Oatly-Cannondale:
Kristen Faulkner timed her attack perfectly in the closing kilometers and rode to the finish in front of the Eiffel Tower solo.
The American knew her best chance for gold required an audacious attack. After closing to the leaders with just over three kilometers to go in the 157-kilometer course, Kristen surged and immediately opened up a gap. Approaching the finish, she put time into her rivals with every pedal stroke, crossing the finish line 58 seconds ahead of the chasers.

Kristen had dreamed of being an Olympian since she was a child. Growing up in Alaska, Kristen was a swimmer and then took up rowing while studying at Harvard. No matter the sport, Kristen maintained her Olympic dream, with the goal of earning a medal. Today, her dream came true.
Kristen Faulkner races for the line.
Kristen has raced strong all year long, beginning with her win at Omloop van Het Hageland in February. She then earned a pair of stage wins at Trofeo Ponente in Rosa, as well as a stage win at the Vuelta a España, before she took the win at the US road national championships in May. She will remain in Paris to race with the US track team later in the week.
A massive congratulations to Kristen on this gold medal! We are so proud of your hard work and we are beyond excited for you!
