Profile European Championships men's Elite Time-trial

The route though is surprisingly short, a medium-sized time-trial. West of Munich the riders will be racing on a loop around Fürstenfeldbruck which totals just just little under 24 kilometers. It will be a very fast route, without technical sections and descents, with roads where the purists can lay down their power.

The 24-kilometer route starts with a small hilltop with the riders leaving town, 400 meters at 7.4%. This will not be a crucial point of the course, however it will be crucial to manage this spike well as the riders may go into the red and fail to recover – or in another scenario, they may start off too slow and then have too much time to take back in the rest of the effort.
