2022 UCI Nations Ranking allocation

The highest ranked NPCs on the UCI Para Cycling Nations Ranking Lists for each gender combined (Road and Track) closing 31  December 2022 each obtain one (1) qualification slot up to the maximum regional quotas below:

In order to maintain their slot(s) allocated under this method, NPCs must have had at least one (1) athlete for each allocated gender slot
participating in one (1) of the following competitions:

• 2023 UCI Para-Cycling Track World Championships
• 2023 UCI Para-Cycling Road World Championships
• Any 2023 or 2024 UCI Para-Cycling Road World Cup prior to 30 June 2024
• 2024 UCI Para-Cycling Track World Championships

Any slots not allocated under this method will be allocated via the 2024 UCI Paralympic Ranking Allocation method. The same applies for qualification slots which could not be confirmed due to an athlete not participating in one (1) of the above-listed events.

2024 UCI Paralympic Ranking allocation

A combined (Road and Track) ranking called the 2024 UCI Paralympic Ranking will be used to allocate all remaining slots except for five (5) male and five (5) female bipartite slots. Events included in the 2024 UCI Paralympic Ranking will be the 2023 UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships, the 2023 and 2024 UCI Paracycling Track World Championships, and the 2023 and 2024 UCI Para-cycling Road World Cups taking place prior to 30 June 2024. A maximum of 3 athletes per nation per sport class will score points at each of the above competitions.

The factor used to calculate the number of male qualification slots allocated through the 2024 UCI Paralympic Ranking Allocation method will be determined by adding the ranking points of all NPCs on the UCI Para-cycling Ranking closing 30 June 2024, and then dividing the total by the number of available male qualification slots. Each NPC’s points will then be divided by this factor to calculate the number of male qualification slots for each NPC, up to a maximum of thirteen (13).

The factor used to calculate the number of female qualification slots allocated through the 2024 UCI Paralympic Ranking Allocation method will be determined by adding the ranking points of all NPCs on the UCI Para-cycling Ranking closing 30 June 2024, and then dividing the total by the number of available female qualification slots. Each NPC’s points will then be divided by this factor to calculate the number of female qualification slots for each NPC, up to a maximum of seven (7).

UCI reserves the right to make minor adjustments to the factor in order to achieve the intended total allocation of male and female qualification slots. In most instances the allocation figure will be rounded up to the next whole number. However, at UCI’s discretion allocation figures with .40 or below may be rounded down.
