Ivan García Cortina leads Spain's ambitions at European Championships

The Spanish coach Pascual Momparler has given the call of the Spanish national team for the European Championships to be held in Drenthe, Netherlands, between 20 and 24 September. Iván García Cortina is the absolute leader of a modest call-up in which some important names are missing.

These are the chosen ones to fight for the medals: Xabier Mikel Azparren, Iván García Cortina, Fernando Barceló, Imanol Erviti, Jon Barrenetxea, Víctor de la Parte and Jesús Ezquerra.

The route of the online race starts in Assen and will be 115 kilometers long before entering a final circuit of six laps with the ascent of the Col du VAM (400 meters at 10%). In total, almost 200 kilometers through Dutch lands to find out the new European champion. The absence of two in-form Movistar Team riders such as Alex Aranburu and Gonzalo Serrano is a surprise.
