As for cycling, the Olympic Games in Paris start today with the ITTs for both men and women. The men’s road race will be held next Saturday and the women will battle it out for gold on Sunday. The road races are pepped up with short and sharp hills – almost like a Flemish Classic -, while today’s time trials are virtually flat. (Slideshow route/profile)
Richard Carapaz and Anna Kiesenhofer won the road races at the Tokyo Games, while Primoz Roglic and Annemiek van Vleuten took gold in the previous Olympic ITT events.
