The end of the Vuelta a España has made the picture much clearer on which countries will have riders for the road races at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, with Belgium leading the qualifying nations for men and the Netherlands for women.

The next month will be critical for countries to earn their spot for the road cycling events, as only the top 5 nations earn the maximum allocation of four athlete entries.
