So the men and women’s team are allowed to have an alternative rider incase something happens where the main riders can’t compete. Payton “P-Nut” Ridenour and Jeremy Smith will be filling those spots. Big shout out and congrats to them!

The Line Up:
Below is the first racks of the Paris 2024 quarter finals line up. So many heavy hitters in these heats/motos but I like how the majority of the favorites are not in the same motos. It should make for some insane laps.
Top Contenders:
So who do you think will qualify into the finals? Let us know in the comments below.
That’s pretty much everything you need to know about the 2024 Olympic BMX Races. So get your Peacock subscription up to date and get ready for the showdown! I can’t wait to see it!
