Understanding Para Cycling Road
Para Cycling Road features three formats: the Individual Time Trial, the Road Race and the Mixed Team Relay Time Trial.
The discipline includes four divisions:
- Cycles (C): Conventional bicycles, with adaptations where necessary.
- Tricycles (T): Three-wheeled bicycles.
- Handcycles (H)
- Tandems (B): For visually impaired athletes riding with a sighted pilot.
Each division is further divided into several sport classes, numbered from 1 to 5 according to the level of impairment.
