On August 3, 2024, Chinese cyclist Lyu Xianjing aboard his PARDUS ROBIN EVO made history by completing the men's road race at the Paris Olympics.
This was the first time since 1992 that a Chinese rider has finished an Olympic road race.
A Monumental Challenge
The 275km course was a grueling test of endurance, featuring 13 categorized climbs. The route, which started and finished at the Trocadero, took riders through the heart of Paris, including iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River. The final laps included the challenging Montmarte climb, featuring cobblestones and steep gradients.
A Historic Finish
Lyu Xianjing started the race strongly, staying with the main peloton for a significant portion of the race. However, as the pace increased and the peloton split, Lyu Xianjing found himself in a chase group. Despite being distanced from the leading contenders, he persevered and crossed the finish line with a determined effort.
PARDUS: Powering Chinese Cycling
Lyu Xianjing's achievement is a testament to his talent and dedication, as well as the quality of his equipment. PARDUS ROBIN EVO, a high-performance road bike, provided him with the tools he needed to tackle this demanding course.
This historic finish is a significant milestone for Chinese cycling. PARDUS is proud to have played a role in this achievement and will continue to support Chinese cyclists on the world stage.
