Domestique Cycling Podcast - The European Championships Preview
The 2025 European Road Championships head to the Drôme-Ardèche region in France, with a 202.5km course packed with relentless climbs. From the opening ascent out of Privas to repeated passages over the Saint-Romain-de-Lerps and the Val d’Enfer, this route will punish anyone not at their best.
In this episode of the Domestique Cycling Podcast, Bram is joined by Domestique editor Ethan for a full preview of the men’s race as they break down the parcours, the favourites and the tactical battles to expect.
