2023 UCI Road World Championships women's time trial. The top ten NOCs each received one quota for the Olympic time trial.
Josh Tarling secured a quota in the men's road time trial when he won the bronze medal at the same World Championships. At the end of the qualification period, Great Britain had achieved fourth place in both the men's and women's rankings, guaranteeing a full team of four riders in both road races, and second quotas in each of the time trials. Great Britain were the only NOC to secure a full slate of quotas in all four events. In the Games, however, Great Britain chose to forgo their second time trial quota in each event.
Men Women Track Results from the
2024 UCI Track Cycling Nations Cup events in
Milton and
Hong Kong ensured that the Great Britain women's team pursuit team could not finish below tenth overall in the team pursuit world rankings, and were thus guaranteed a quota in all three women's track endurance events in Paris. Further results in the Pan American championships, the final pre-Olympic continental qualifier, confirmed Great Britain's full track team.
