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.
