Sono ormai alle porte i Campionati Europei di ciclismo su strada Plouay 2020: le prove riservate agli élite uomini si terranno rispettivamente lunedì 24 (crono) e mercoledì 26 (gara in linea).
Per quanto riguarda la prova contro il tempo, i riflettori sono tutti puntati sul campione uscente Victor Campenaerts (Belgio). Tra i principali avversari citiamo Stefan Kung (Svizzera), Alex Dowsett (Gran Bretagna), Jan Barta (Repubblica Ceca), Remi Cavagna (Francia) e l’italiano Edoardo Affini (in gara anche l’altro azzurro Alexander Konychev).
Più vasto il parterre della gara in linea, sebbene quasi tutti coloro che prenderanno parte al Tour de France hanno scelto di disertare la prova continentale.
L’Italia è reduce da due ori consecutivi firmati da Matteo Trentin ed Elia Viviani (assente). Il trentino ci proverà anche questa volta su un percorso ondulato che gli si addice, ma nell’arco delle frecce dei Davide Cassani figurano anche il neocampione italiano Giacomo Nizzolo (oltre al vice Davide Ballerini) e Diego Ulissi.
Il Belgio può essere considerato come la squadra da battere, avendo in rosa atleti del calibro di Greg Van Avermaet, Oliver Naese, Jasper Stuyven e Sep Vanmarcke. La vicina Olanda, però, pur avendo un solo capitano, ha forse il vero favorito: Mathieu Van Der Poel.
Avversaria temibile è la Francia, con Arnaud Démare per la volata e Lilian Camlejane per smuovere le acque prima dell’arrivo.
Da tenere d’occhio, poi, l’ex campione Alexander Kristoff (Norvegia), l’ex iridato Alberto Rui Costa (Portogallo), il velocista Pascal Ackermann (Germania), gli attaccanti Ivan Cortina (Spagna), Michael Albasini (Svizzera) e Aliaksandr Riabushenko (Bielorussia).
