Road race/time trial, 1912–1932? edit

Is there consensus on how we should treat the men's road cycling events between 1912 and 1932? Individual articles indicate they were held as time trials; however, {{Footer olympic champions road cycling men}} includes their winners amongst the road race winners.

Also, List of Olympic medalists in cycling (men) treats the 1924 edition as a road race. SeveroTC 12:13, 7 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

During last year’s TdF (British) TV's Matt Rendell, aka Encyclopædia Rendellica, assured us that there had been a men's road race in 1928. He told us Aristidis Konstantinidis' 32-year reign as Olympic champion made Greg van Laundromat’s mere five years look a bit second-rate. He lied to us! The rotter.

Medals 1928 edit

Maybe this problem is connected to the above problem. The article Cycling at the 1928 Summer Olympics states that Denmark won 3 gold medals in cycling. The list on this page only have one gold medal for Denmark. I haven't checked other countries but I would think there's similar differences. That doesn't add up. Maybe there's a speciel way to treat cycling 1912-1932 I don't know but it should be the same in all wiki articles. --Santac (talk) 11:33, 13 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
