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.

Even on 80% he'd demolish everyone else. I think the WC has reminded us all what watching cycling used to be like, how much fun it was.
