Great Britain Skips European Championships Road Races, Sending Only Time Trial Riders

Great Britain will once again send a small squad to the European Championships taking place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, this coming week. The team will have no representation in any of the road races, sending just three riders to the event. Callum Thornley is one of the three athletes selected to represent Great Britain.

The British squad has had a mixed history with the European Championships since elite races were first introduced in 2016. Great Britain fielded no riders for the first two editions of the championships.

After hosting the event in 2018, Great Britain sent both road race and time trial squads from 2018 to 2020. The team then skipped the championships in 2021 and 2022, fielded full elite squads in 2023, and skipped the event entirely once again in 2024.
