(Cycling, Road)

Already in 1896 road cycling became an Olympic sport.

There are two disciplines:
1.) An Individual Time Trial (ITT)is a road-based bicycle race in which cyclists race alone against the clock (in French: contre la montre - literally "against the watch").
Starting times are at equal intervals, usually one or two minutes apart, or like at the Olympic Games the intervals are 90secs.

2.) Individual Road Races with mass starts.

Women startet racing at the Olympic Games in 1984.
