Fabio Jakobsen is the new European champion of professional road cycling.

The Dutch rider preceded Arnaud Démare , silver medalist, and Tim Merlier , bronze medalist.

At the finish line in Munich, after 208 km, Jakobsen achieved success, as expected, in a group sprint. Azzurri did well in the very last kilometers with a team action that did not materialize. The best of the Italians was Elia Viviani, seventh.

One of the favorites, Pascal Ackermann , was forced to retire after a crash which took place -45 km from the finish.
