In recent Paralympic Games, Great Britain and Netherlands have been the teams to surpass; they will once more be powerful.
One of the most high-profile and intense sports, para cycling visits the suburbs and beyond for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games; French aspirations of success are strong.
Officially a Paris suburb but not served by major roads or public transport, the track cycling will take place to the west of the city at the National Velodrome de
Saint-Quentin-en-Yveslines from 29 August to 1 September, followed by the road cycling (4–7 September) around Clichy-sous-Bois to the east
Para-cycling has expanded rapidly in the 40 years since its 1984 Paralympic début with just 22 riders racing across seven events.
Like three years ago in Tokyo 2020, in Paris more than 200 contestants will engage in fight across 51 events - 17 around the track and 34 on the road.
For riders who can utilize a conventional bicycle, C1-C5, there are five classes; the lowest number denotes the most impairment on the ability to ride a bike.
