Cycling at the 2015 Pan American Games – Qualification

Qualification summary

Although in theory an NOC is entitled to qualify up to one place per road and track event for a total of twenty-two quota places, a limit of 16 riders (10 men, 6 women) is placed on each NOC. For certain countries, therefore, the number of quota places won will significantly exceed the numbers of riders qualified.

An athlete qualifying in any road or track event, may contest any other event in either discipline respecting the maximum per event quota for a country.[1]
