For the first time since the creation of Cycling Fantasy in 2018, the European Championships will be contested in the game, which means that there are 4 new beautiful jerseys up for grabs. One of the most prestigious jerseys in the cycling world will also have its equivalent in Cycling Fantasy, where it will undoubtedly be one of the most desired badges.

Road Race routes

The European Championships will take place in Trento, Italy, and both the men's and women's events will be held on a 13-kilometer circuit starting and finishing in Piazza Duomo, in the historic city center, including the climb to Povo (3.6 km at 4.7%) as the only difficulty. The women will have to do 8 laps to complete the 106 km of race. The men, for their part, will also have to do 8 laps on the final circuit, but first they will do a bigger loop that includes 3 climbs: Cadine, Vigo Cavedine and Candriai. While these climbs may make the selection for the breakaway of the day, it seems unlikely that they will be decisive for the outcome of the race, which will presumably be decided in the closing laps on the circuit. The total mileage of the men's race is 179.1 km.

Time trial routes

As regards time-trial races, both men and women events are contested on the same route of 22 km, totally flat, making it ideal for pure specialists, especially those who are able to squeeze their power on short efforts.

Women's ITT Favorites

Marlen Reusser (600), Lisa Brennauer (1200), Ellen Van Dijk (600), Lisa Klein (800) and Emma Norsgaard (1000) are the top favorites on the provisional list.
