Cycling Road

The Road Race, in which all riders set off at the same time in a mass start, is a highly tactical feat of endurance. The race (over 120km for female and 200km for male athletes respectively) is often won in a sprint finish over a few hundred meters. The Time Trial is a solo effort in which competitors set off at staggered times rather than in a grouped peloton. They cover a much shorter distance than that of the Road Race, as the Time Trial rarely exceeds 50km.

 

The Cycling Road course will start in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, CA.

A cyclist wearing a Team USA uniform and an aerodynamic white helmet leans forward on a sleek black racing bike, navigating a curve on a race track. The track consists of dark gray asphalt and features sections with green asphalt and red-and-white curbs.
