Tibor del Grosso May Participate in the European Road Cycling Championships in France in His First Professional Year. The Talent is Part of the Selection that Koos Moerenhout Announced on Thursday. Mathieu van der Poel is absent.
Initially, The Thirty-Year-Old van der Poel had Marked the European Championships in the Drôme and Ardèche regions in His agenda, but last weekend he withdrew after his disappointing performance at the mountain bike world championships.
Partly Due to van der Poel’s Cancellation and the Upcoming World Championships, which will be Held Just before the European Championships, Van Moerenhout Faced a Considerable Puzzle. He is Giving the Chance to some Young Talents. In Addition to the 22-year-old del Grosso, Menno Huising (21) and Huub Artz (23) Will also Appear at the Start.
Mathijs Paasschens, Daan Hole, and Dylan van Baarle Complete the selection and add experience to the team. Hole and van Baarle Will also start in the time trial on October 1.
Hole is a two-time Dutch Champion and this year’s winner of the time trial in the giro. “He has proved that can ride for the stage places,” Says Moerenhout. “Dylan also gets the chance to show his time trial capabilities with a renewed focus.”
‘You Always Start With The Highest Goal: To Win’
Van Moerenhout Cannot Say Too Much About the Ambitions in the Road Race. “You always start with the highest goal: to win,” he says. “At the same time, it is also important that we make an impression on the race as a team.”
“Against World-Class Riders Like Tadej Pogacar, Remco Evenepoel, and Jonas Vingegaard, that is not an easy task, but that is what makes the European Championships interesting. We will have to race actively and seize our opportunities.”
The Course of the Road Race at the European Championships is Less Demanding Compared to the World Championship Course in Rwanda. Neverberness, the ride on October 5, with a length of more than 200 kilometers and more than 3,000 meters of elevation gain, is Anything But Easy.
