Qualification edit
Qualification was based mainly on the final UCI Juniors Nations' Cup ranking as of 15 August 2014. The first ten nations in this classification qualified six riders to start, the next five nations qualified five riders to start and the next five nations qualified four riders to start. Spain, as the organising nation, were entitled to five riders to start. Other nations and non ranked nations had the opportunity to send three riders to start. Moreover, continental champions were qualified to take part in the race, on top of the nation numbers. The outgoing World Champion, Mathieu van der Poel, did not compete as he was no longer eligible to contest junior races.[2]
