The length of the race was 48 km and 38 drivers started. The doping test of the winner Tyler Hamilton was, as it became known a few weeks later, positive. There was no conviction because the B-sample required for verification had been stored incorrectly and thus became unusable. In August 2012, however, Hamilton was subsequently stripped of the gold medal during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

The Olympic cycle race was held on a circuit in the city center. Nine laps of 13.2 km had to be completed, the total length was 118.8 km. Silver medalist Judith Arndt made headlines when she showed her middle finger at the finish line.
