The list of starters for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games men's road cycling road race

91 riders are registered to take part in the men's road race of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Among the big favorites are Mathieu van der Poel for the Netherlands versus Remco Evenepoel or Wout van Aert for Belgium, not forgetting the recent addition to the list of starters, Marc Hirschi for Switzerland, a strong man who has come to replace Stefan Bissegger who was initially on the list for the Helvetians! On the French side, we find Julian Alaphilippe and we can also mention, more as outsiders, Mads Pedersen (Denmark), Tom Pidcock (Great Britain) or Biniam Girmay (Eritrea).

In a forthcoming publication (if all goes well and I manage to find the time to produce it), you'll find the map with the course and the list of starters in the women's road race!
