Mountain-biker Alan Hatherly wins Olympic medal No 2 for South Africa 💥🚴🤩

Mountain-biker Alan Hatherly has won South Africa’s second medal of the Paris Olympics, taking bronze in the cross-country event on Monday afternoon.

He finished behind British phenom Tom Pidcock, who twice battled his way from behind to take the lead, and Frenchman Victor Koretzky to claim South Africa’s first Olympic cycling medal since Melbourne 1956.

Hatherly attacked from the start, moving into the lead early on, and though he was shunted back to seventh or so at one stage, he kept pressing and surging, eventually moving into third spot with a healthy gap behind him.

Well done Alan - we are very proud of your awesome achievement!

Cycling at the 2024 Olympics

The Paris Olympics begin on July 26 with the cycling events starting on the second day of competition with the men's and women's individual time trials.

With the Olympics starting just after the 2024 Tour de France, the winner of both the Giro d'Italia and Tour, Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia) announced he would not compete in the Paris Olympics due to fatigue.

Pogačar won the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics behind gold medalist Richard Carapaz - who will also not appear after not making Ecuador's selection - and silver medalist Wout van Aert.

Tokyo individual time trial champion Primož Roglič will not defend his Olympic title either, while fellow medalists Tom Dumoulin and Rohan Dennis have since retired, making Van Aert the only men's road medalist to return for Paris 2024.

On the women's side, time trial medalists Annemiek van Vleuten (gold), Marlen Reusser (silver) and Anna van der Breggen (bronze) will not compete in Paris. The two Dutch riders have retired while Reusser has been diagnosed with post-viral syndrome and withdrew from Switzerland's selection.

From the road race podium in Tokyo, champion Anna Kiesenhofer will return to defend her title. Van Vleuten won silver in 2021 and will not compete this year, but bronze medalist Elisa Longo Borghini of Italy goes into the Paris Games as one of the favorites to win.

Start: FLORENCE
29/06/2024 - STAGE 1 - 206 KM - HILLY

FLORENCE AND CYCLING
Florence is first and foremost known to cycling fans as the home of one of the greatest riders ever produced by Italy, Gino Bartali, winner of two Tours de France (1938 and 1948), as well as three Giri d’Italia, and who, had it not been for the Second World War, would undoubtedly have amassed an even more impressive list of achievements.

Righteous Among the Nations for his help to Jews during the war, Gino 'the Pious' is also remembered for his rivalry with Fausto Coppi. The list of Tour de France winners also includes Gastone Nencini, winner of the 1960 Tour and born in Barberino di Mugello, a town some forty kilometres away. Among the many famous Tuscan riders are Franco Ballerini, twice winner of Paris-Roubaix and who died in a road accident in 2010; as well as stage winners in the Tour Paolo Bettini (2000); Daniele Bennati (2007 x 2); Francesco Casagrande, who finished in the Top 10 in three Grand Tours (2nd in the Giro in 2000); and his brother Filippo, who took part in a Tour de France. Andrea Tafi, winner of Paris-Roubaix in 1999, the Tour of Flanders in 2002 and the Tour of Lombardy in 1996, hails from Fucecchio, a town near Florence.

Florence has also hosted the Giro 34 times, most recently in 2017 when Omar Fraile won the stage. The Tour de France is not the first French race to be held in Florence, as Paris-Nice stopped off here in 1959 and the Tour de l'Avenir in 1987. Florence was also the venue for the 2013 road world championships, won in the men's race by Rui Costa and in the women's race by Marianne Vos. Matej Mohoric won the U23 category and Mathieu Van Der Poel the junior category.
