1/5
Laporte is crowned European cycling champion.

Laporte outsmarted favorite Wout van Aert with an early attack in the closing stages until the finish at the Col du Vam, a former waste dump. He was overtaken in the last meters by Wout van Aert and Kooij. However, he managed to hold his own in the uphill sprint against his two teammates at Jumbo-Visma and became the first Frenchman to win the European champion’s jersey, which has been awarded since 2016.

The new European road champion achieved his fifth victory of the season. The fact that three riders from the Jumbo-Visma team reached the podium was surprising after the overwhelming dominance of the team in the Vuelta (final victory of Sepp Kuss ahead of Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic) and the overall victories in the Tour de France (Vingegaard) and the Giro d’Italia (Roglic) only to a limited extent.

Swiss without assertiveness

In the absence of Stefan Küng, the Swiss were unable to intervene in the battle for medals on the 200 km circuit between Assen and Wijste. Stefan Bissegger, second at the European Time Trial Championships on Wednesday, tried his luck in an early leading group. At 30 km from the finish he was overtaken by his last remaining companion, the Czech Mathias Vacek.

After the sixth climb on the Müllberg, Bissegger finally reached the finish in 74th place. The best classified Swiss was Mauro Schmid, who was nominated for the injured Küng, in 41st place, more than four minutes behind, followed by Fabian Lienhard (48th). . (SDA/sbe)
