France confirm European Championship lineup with Christophe Laporte set to defend title
CyclingTuesday, 10 September 2024 at 13:00
On September the 15th, the men's road race at the 2024 European Championship is on the programme for many of the biggest names in the peloton. France have now confirmed their lineup, headlined again by the 2023 European Championship winner, Christophe Laporte.
Last year, with just over 12km to go, Laporte made his attack and initially, the chase behind stalled. With 3km to go the Frenchman still had around 10 seconds advantage as he dangled out front tantalisingly. When Wout van Aert kicked for the line though, it looked for a moment as if he had stolen the win at the finale, but Laporte kicked once again to victory with Olav Kooij coming home in third.
In defence of his crown, this time around Laporte will be joined by a strong French team that includes Arkéa - B&B Hotels sprinter Arnaud Demare and lead out man Mathis Le Berre, Movistar Team's Remi Cavagna, Intermarché - Wanty duo Hugo Page and Adrien Petit, plus Groupama - FDJ's Eddy Le Huitouze and TotalEnergies' Sandy Dujardin.

- What, same week as Jota? That’ll start conspirationists. So how are they going to determine if it’s cause or effect?Mistermaumau12-07-2025
- Ok, thanksMistermaumau12-07-2025
- Sorry but if what he says is actually true, he should be taken out because he becomes a danger to others. At best, forced to ride behind the peleton with only teammates as company until he can show being in full control of his bike.Mistermaumau12-07-2025
- Pog was irritated by Visma's tactics, and Jorgenson made it hard for him to take a bottle. But Knetemann made it sound as if Pog had stolen Jonas's lunch. Being an introvert has not stopped Jonas from hitting back at critics before, so Knetemann has no need to speak of him as if he were a small child.Hill3312-07-2025
- Yes - no concussionJakob12-07-2025
- Please be more clear, with concussion he would not be allowed to continue.Mistermaumau12-07-2025
- Not to be overly negative, but I don't see Joao Almeda being able to carry on much longer in this Tour.
santiagobenites12-07-2025 - Day 2 after such a crash with rib fracture in addition to multiple soft tissue injuries is worst because edema in the body accumulates after a days race. Sad to say when Joao wake up tomorrow he will feel like he has been run over by a truck.Jakob12-07-2025
- 2 stages! Let's go Sarah! So happy for her after what she's been through. Also, thank you for covering this - fastest site (and the only site that I've seen so far) to cover this stage.Pogboom12-07-2025
- Danish... When his compatriot went from being a complete unknown to being the best climber in the world, a very average (bad) time-trialist to perform the best time trial in history, a growth achieved in about one year (improving... what? 90%?)... what did this great expert say? Tadej was progressing from the age of 18-19 until now, it was not a leap from one year to the next. I really believe that the cycling NOW is as clean as OTHER SPORTS, but if I HAVE TO suspect about doping, I'd suspect of unexpected big jump and not about one that is a phenomenon from his adolescence.
