The reigning champion Jakobsen is absent; Italian hopes with Ganna and Trentin

On Sunday 24 September, in Assen in the Netherlands, the European road cycling championships conclude with the men's road race: 199.8 km with a final circuit to be repeated seven times with as many passages on the Col du Vam, the only expected roughness of 200 meters per 6% on average.

Considering the path and the strength of the team, the main favorites will be the Belgians   Wout Van Aert   And   Arnaud De Lie , who will be able to count on the support of expert riders such as Stuyven and Lampaert.

For Denmark the sole captain will be   Mads Pedersen , while the hosts Holland will run all the way   Kooij   in extraordinary form in this season finale.

Italy will be able to play its cards with   Pippo Gann a, thanks also to the quick start shown at the Vuelta, and a   Matteo Trentin .

Laporte   he will lead the French team completed by very interesting second strikers such as   Demare   And   Zingle .

As possible surprises we mention the Italian Mozzato, the Norwegian Tiller, the Slovenian Mezgec and Degenkolb for Germany.
