European Continental Championships 2026 🇸🇮 – Road Race (CC) MJ – Šenčur – Šenčur : 110 km
European Continental Championships – Road Race is a UCI-sanctioned championship road race contested by national teams, combining long paved sections, rolling terrain, short climbs and technical descents. The course typically covers more than 150 km, with repeated changes of gradient rather than one continuous mountain ascent. Climbs can range from gradual 4–6% rises to sharper ramps above 10%, creating frequent accelerations and testing riders’ ability to manage effort across a long distance. Narrow roads, tight corners and exposed sections make positioning important, particularly before climbs and technical passages, while wind and changing weather can influence the formation of groups. Racing often begins with controlled breakaway attempts before the pace increases as teams seek to place riders in advantageous positions. The peloton can stretch and fragment on successive climbs, with flatter sections allowing groups to regroup. As the finish approaches, attacks and counterattacks become increasingly frequent. The race can conclude with a solo move, a reduced-group sprint or a late acceleration, depending on the course profile and accumulated fatigue.
Norway’s Elias Dybing won the junior men’s race at the UEC European Championships in Slovenia on Saturday, the 18-year-old breaking clear on the final ascent of the race’s signature climb to Možjanča.
Staying away for the last 15km of the 110.5km race, Dybing held off Aitor Martínez (Spain), who took second place, out-sprinting Jop van den Biggelaar (Netherlands), the pair five seconds ahead of a large group of chasers.
The race took place over five laps of a 22km circuit, starting and finishing in the town of Šenčur, each including the challenging climb to Možjanca, which featured gradients of more than 15%.
After an opening phase punctuated by several breakaway attempts, one move came from Slovenian Gal Stare, who attacked his breakaway companions on the climb to Možjanca. He quickly opened a gap of more than a minute with around 50 kilometres remaining.
Stare was caught 30 kilometres later, and a group of nine riders formed at the front, approaching the final ascent of Možjanca with a lead of more than 40 seconds.
Dybing only needed to attack once, his move instantly gapped Martínez and gradually built his advantage. The Spaniard, meanwhile, eventually slipped back into a group of five, though as the peloton closed in, he and Van den Biggelaar escaped to sweep up the remaining medals.
