There will be four road cycling events at the SEA Games:
Men Criterium, Women Criterium, Men Individual Mass Start, Women Individual Mass Start
A criterium is a bike race consisting of several laps around a closed circuit with the length of each lap or circuit ranging from 400m to 10km. For road cycling mass start events, competitors typically ride a longer distance compared to criteriums over a longer fixed course. Criteriums are short and intensive races, while mass start events are comparatively longer and endurance-based.
