The men's road time trial cycling events at the 2024 Summer Paralympics took place on 4 September at Clichy-sois-Bois, Paris. Twelve events took place over twelve classifications. The T1-2 time trial, which takes in two classifications, is a 'factored' event, with times adjusted by classification to allow fair competition. All events (finals) were held on the same day (4 September).[1]
Classification
editCyclists are given a classification depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allows cyclists to compete against others with a similar level of function. The class number indicates the severity of impairment with "1" being most impaired.
Cycling classes are:[2]
- B: Blind and visually impaired cyclists use a Tandem bicycle with a sighted pilot on the front
- H 1–5: Cyclists with an impairment that affects their legs use a handcycle
- T 1–2: Cyclists with an impairment that affects their balance use a tricycle
- C 1–5: Cyclists with an impairment that affects their legs, arms, and/or trunk but are capable of using a standard bicycle
