The week following the Vuelta a España will be one of the most important for the classics riders, sprinters and time-trial specialists. Both men and women will be in Belgium to tackle the
European Championships where there will be plenty jerseys to hand out. We tell you when all the events will take place.
The Europeans will consist of races for both men and women, based in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium. The courses will favour the sprinters but the classics specialists will also have opportunities in a region that features cobbled roads and often the wind as well. Elite, under-23 and junior riders will all have their chance in the road races and time-trials.
