The countdown to the dispute European Cycling Championships (September 11-15 in Belgium) it has already begun. The national road coach Pascual Momparler made public the list of Spanish riders for this event, and every time an announcement of these qualities is made, the fan asks the same question, what are the options for the Spanish cyclists, the route suits the characteristics of selected riders.
A few questions MD relayed to Momparler and the coach graciously answered another day. “It’s a European race with 210 kilometers, there are 11 sections of pavé repeated, which are repeated in several circuits, we leave Zolder and arrive in Hasselt. It’s a fairly flat area, if where I’m most concerned about is the wind. I’ve been watching the route and it’s what I’m most concerned about, but I can see it’s not going to be very windy, so you have to be good on those pavé areas and there were no breakdowns either on the pavé areas like in Paris-Roubaix, they were better.
The national coach is confident in his team’s performance. “We have a fast team and I think we can reach the sprint or in a very small group at the front of the group. So typical Belgian race with people who run Belgian events all year. We have a little riders in the World Tour, but the cyclists We take cyclists whose teams take them to ride a lot in Belgium, so they know the races, the routes, the towns, they know it very well .
Trust the youth of your runners
And there are two cyclists that Momparler admires the most: Raúl García Pierna and Pau Miquel. “We have young people with a lot of desire, with the desire to do well, some to get points, others to finish the year well and with young people like Pau Miquel, who has a very good -progress and showed in La Vuelta in some sprints that he can be very close to victory, so with great enthusiasm with Pau And then also with Raúl García Pierna, with great enthusiasm to see him continue, to see him grow , especially in the time trial where he is. preparing a lot, and I think we will do a good time trial with Raúl”.
In other words, the Spanish team goes to the European Championship “with many young riders, with great enthusiasm and with the desire to see well and see ahead”
