QUITO, Ecuador — Richard Carapaz will not be at the Paris Olympics to defend his road cycling title. Ecuador's cycling federation says its only representative at the Olympics in the road cycling race and individual time trial will be Jhonatan Narváez. Carapaz said on his social media on Monday he wished "the best of luck to Jhonatan." But Carapaz also told various media that the process to earn Ecuador's only road cycling spot in Paris favored Narváez. The federation rejected the accusation. Narváez won the road cycling race in the Pan American Games in Santiago last year.
