The UEC Road European Championships were held a week after the Rwanda Road World Championships, sparking some logistical challenges for riders and teams but creating an extra week of entertaining national team riding.
The winners were largely as expected, but the racing was still great to watch, with displays of superiority by Tadej Pogačar, Demi Vollering, Remco Evenepoel, Marlen Reusser, along with Jarno Widar in the under-23 men's road race and Paula Ostiz in the junior women's road race.
