Track

[edit]

A National Olympic Committee (NOC) may enter up to 2 athletes in each individual event, except points race where it can enter only 1 athlete. NOC may also enter up to 1 team in each team event.

Champions in the World Championship, World Cup, and "B" World Championship automatically qualify (Nontransferable place), as do several of the athletes with the highest UCI rankings in their event on 30 March 2008. Additionally, the tripartite commission (made up of the IOC, UCI and ANOC) may issue invitational places.

An NOC may enter up to 5 men and 3 women if qualified through the UCI ranking. Otherwise it may enter up to 2 men and 2 women. Each NOC will receive athlete quota places according to the UCI ranking by nations in the tours. Also, each NOC with a rider in individual ranking in the Pro Tour and in the corresponding top places in continental tours will receive 1 place if not qualified through Nations Ranking. Places for the time trial event are included in the total quota for cycling disciplines. Only riders involved in the road, track or mountain biking or BMX can take part in the individual time trial race.
