Belgium dominates the European Championships time trial for U23 riders. Jonathan Vervenne, a 22-year-old rider with Soudal Quick-Step Devo Team and eighth at the recent world championships in Kigali, completed the 24-kilometer course in 30 minutes and 27 seconds, winning the continental title ahead of his compatriot Matisse Van Kerckhove, who was just under two seconds behind. Bronze medal went to Irish rider Rafferty, third with a delay of 6 seconds from the winner. Fourth place for Decomble, 15" behind. Nicolas Milesi, the best Italian, finished the race with the sixth-fastest time: 30'57''86. Donati was far from the top performers, recording the seventeenth final time.
