Italian attention is focused on Nicolas Milesi, eager to redeem himself after the second-place finish he achieved at the recent World Championships in Montreal. Also competing for the Italian National team will be Roberto Capello, called upon to face some of the best specialists in the category.

For the Bergamo-based rider of Netcompany Ineos Academy Racing, the duel with Dutch rider Ryan Gal will be renewed, who in Canada snatched the world title from him by just seven seconds. A confrontation that promises spectacle and sees Gal and Milesi as the main contenders for the European gold medal.

Spanish rider Hector Alvarez, fresh European champion in the road race and a competitor capable of performing at the highest levels also in time trial competitions, will also be looking to secure a medal.

Belgian Matisse Van Kerckhove, Norwegian Kasper Haugland, fellow Dutchman Michiel Mouris, Danes Kristian Egholm and Mads Landbo, German Louis Leidert and Briton Ben Wiggins will also attempt to secure medals.

Special mention deserves Cypriot Bogdan Zabelinsky, author of very convincing performances throughout the season. The Mediterranean island rider impressed at the Montreal World Championships, finishing eighth, and won the silver medal at the Mediterranean Games behind Portuguese rider Tiago Antunes.

37 riders representing 26 nations at the start
