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

- 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.
