European Championships ITT Men
The men’s individual time trial is one of the major events at the European Championships. Riders start individually and race against the clock, with the fastest rider earning the European champion’s jersey for the following season. As the host and course change each year, the race can favour pure time trial specialists, powerful rouleurs or riders who handle climbing and technical roads well.
