The 2024 European Championships follows hot on the heels of the Vuelta a Espana. The event will be held from September 11 to 15 in Limburg, Belgium, with Spain becoming the latest team to announce their roster.
On the list, there are 3 riders from Equipo Kern Pharma. The Spanish team is having an outstanding Vuelta a Espana, and has been rewarded for it. Pau Miquel, who is being crucial with his good performances in the Vuelta sprints, will be part of the Spanish lineup in the elite men's road race on September 15, along with teammates Antonio Soto and Kiko Galván.
The big star of the squad will be Raúl García Pierna, who will also be the only Spanish representative in the time trial that will be held 4 days before the road race, on September 11. The route will take the participants to Hasselt in a 31.1km race, almost completely flat.
Also present in the road race Jon Aberasturi and Xabier Berasategui (Euskaltel Euskadi), Fernando Barceló (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) and Antonio Angulo (Burgos BH), completing the list of 8 riders who will wear the jersey of Spain in the prestigious race.
The highlight of the course that will decide the new European champion, is its 222 kilometres of distance with only 1,200 meters of elevation gain. Regarding the favourites, Belgium starts with a good chance that one of its riders will take the European champion's jersey to wear for the whole of next year. Jasper Philipsen and Tim Merlier seem their best chances. On the other side is world champion Mathieu van der Poel, who will be keen to make amends after his failure at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Spain for the 2024 European Championship road race:
Pau Miquel
Raul Garcia Pierna
Jon Aberasturi
Xabier Berasategui

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
