We haven't recovered yet from the World Championship the European Championship already starts on Friday in Slovenia.

The same 22-km circuit, which comprises a steep 2-km climb, is used for everything: all mass start events, as well as all Time Trials.

There's no warm up, the mass start races precede the TTs, and the program is condensed:

  • Friday 2:
    • 9:00, women U23
    • 13:30, men U23
  • Saturday 3:
    • 9:00, men junior
    • 13:30, women
  • Sunday 4:
    • 9:00, women junior
    • 12:30, men
  • Tuesday 6:
    • 11:00, mixed relay junior
    • 15:30, mixed relay
  • Wednesday 7:
    • 9:15, ITT women junior
    • 10:10, ITT men junior
    • 11:30, ITT women U23
    • 12:20, ITT men U23
    • 14:30, ITT women
    • 16:15, ITT men

All TTs are a single 22-km lap.

Here is the circuit:

Junior men and women, U23 women mass start races only take place on the circuit. In other 3 races, there is a pretty flat section coming from the small capital Ljubljana which varies a bit but generally looks like this:

The number of circuit laps varies (in a non-intuitive way, because of the presence/absence of the flat section before) : 2 for elite women, 3 for U23 men and junior women, 4 for U23 women, 5 for junior men and elite men.

That'd depend on hist current shape. But yes, if he's in good one, then it'd make it boring. Though according to latest reports, he won't be joining.
