(PRIMASPORT) ŠENČUR Slovenian Primož Roglič won the European Championships title in the time trial held in Šenčur, Slovenia. The thirty-six-year-old dominated the 22-kilometer race, holding a 6.59-second lead over Frenchman Bruno Armirail and a 28.43-second lead over his compatriot Maxime Decomble.
Marco Frigo was the best of the Italians, finishing seventh, 55 seconds behind the winner. The course presented few difficulties, with the exception of the 2.1-kilometer Mozjanca climb with an average gradient of 10.21 TP3T, already tackled in the road race won by Belgian Remco Evenepoel.
Roglič, Olympic champion in the same discipline in Tokyo, thus crowned the European Cycling Championships hosted on home soil in the best possible way. Missing from the competition were road world champion Evenepoel, Frenchman Paul Seixas, and compatriot Filippo Ganna, who are preparing for the Giro di Lombardia and the Track World Championships in Shanghai, respectively.
