Cycling at the 2015 Pan American Games – Qualification

Qualification summary

edit

Although in theory an NOC is entitled to qualify up to one place per road and track event for a total of twenty-two quota places, a limit of 16 riders (10 men, 6 women) is placed on each NOC. For certain countries, therefore, the number of quota places won will significantly exceed the numbers of riders qualified.

Road cycling

edit

A maximum of 87 male and 67 female may be entered across all events in road and track.[1] A nation may enter only a maximum of ten male and six female in road and track cycling combined, which opens the door to reallocation of unused quotas in both sports if countries qualify more than 16 athletes combined in both events.[1] A maximum of two cyclists in each time trial event may be entered, while a maximum of four men and three women may contest the road races. An athlete qualifying in any road or track event, may contest any other event in either discipline respecting the maximum per event quota for a country.[1]
