European Continental Championships 2026 🇸🇮 – Mixed Relay TTT (CC) JR – Šenčur – Šenčur : 44 km
The race Mixed Team Relay – European Championships is a UCI European Championship team time trial in which national teams combine male and female riders in a coordinated relay format. Each team typically consists of three men and three women, with the first group completing one section of the course before the second group takes over and continues toward the finish. The route generally combines fast paved roads with gradual rises, technical corners, roundabouts and exposed sections, requiring precise pacing and aerodynamic positioning. Gentle climbs of around 3–6% can disrupt the rhythm, while descents and flatter roads reward efficient rotation and smooth acceleration. Wind can become an important factor, particularly on open roads where maintaining a compact formation is essential. The race demands close communication, disciplined effort distribution and precise timing between riders, as excessive acceleration can force a teammate to drop from the formation. The decisive factor is the combined elapsed time, with strong synchronization and consistent speed proving more important than individual performances.
Italy won the Junior Mixed Team Relay event at the UEC European Championships in Slovenia on Tuesday, riding the Polish team into second place, with Switzerland in third.
The team of Enrico Balliana, Brandon Fedrizzi, Patrik Pezzo Rosola, Azzurra Ballan, Eisa Bianchi and Matilde Rossignoli closked a time of 1:07:22 for the 44km race.
As with the other races in this week’s championships, the riders faced two laps of the 22km loop around the town of Šenčur, with the two kilometre climb to Možanca and its double digit gradients providing a stiff test. Each of the 11 participating nations started with their three-man teams riding the first circuit before the women took over for the second.
The set off in two tranches, with five teams in the first and the remaining six setting off 44 minutes afterwards. After fielding a team with only two women, Luxembourg emerged as the leaders from the first five nations, their result a surprising one after they fielded only two women for their second lap.
Italy were first off in the second tranche, setting the fastest time at the changeover, their women holding on to win by 23 seconds. The Swiss team were a further seven seconds back.
