Fans of road cycling are treated to a number of races across various different classifcations at the Paralympics. It means we get plenty of excitement on the tarmac. Luckily we have all the information you need to watch road cycling, and all of Paralympics 2024, from anywhere in the world, including for free.

The key question in the women’s competition is whether anyone can beat Dame Sarah Storey. The British superstar won the Women's Road Race C4-5 and the C5 time trial in Tokyo and is defending her titles in Paris. Fellow Brit Benjamin Watson is defending his titles in the road race and time trial too.

Home fans will be roaring on Florian Jouanny, the reigning champion in the Men's Road Race H1-2. As in any cycling competition, keep an eye on the Dutch contingent who are always strong both in the velodrome and on the road. Jetze Plat is one of the team's stars. The para cycling road competition ends with mixed relays which should be very exciting too. Italy won gold three years ago with France claiming silver. They will be desperate to go one better at a home Games.

Here's where to watch road cycling 2024 Paralympics live streams online from anywhere – including FREE options.
