188 kilometre time trial.

The course was a time trial over 188 km. The riders started at two-minute intervals from Colombes Stadium and rode out-and-back, with the turnaround at 94 km, shortly after a 10 km. steady climb. The 1923 world champion was Liberio Ferrario of Italy, but he did not compete in Paris, as he turned professional early in 1924. Armand Blanchonnet had finished second in the French Championships in 1924 to René Hamel, but at the Olympics he dominated the race, winning by 10 minutes, with Hamel third. Runner-up Henri Hoevenaers won the World Championships in 1925. Blanchonnet placed 3rd in the 1924 World Championships and then turned professional, racing mostly 6-days.
