Each year the lull between the Tour de Suisse and the Tour de France is filled with national championships. Countries across Europe and around the world time their time trial and road race championship events largely on the same weekend, leading to a flood of results, and new champions to remember. To make things a little easier, Cyclingnews has compiled this table of new champions so you know who will ride in their national colours for the next 12 months.
Notable amongst the winners are top elite men's riders Peter Sagan (Slovakia), Vincenzo Nibali (Italy), Martin Elmiger (Switzerland), double Canadian winner Svein Tuft, Arnaud Demare (France), Andre Greipel (Germany), Sebastian Langeveld (Netherlands) and double Portuguese champion Nelson Oliveira, all of whom are expected to fly their national colours at the Tour de France on the road stages.
Ramunas Navardauskas (Lithuania), Fabian Cancellara (Switzerland), Tony Martin (Germany), Jan Barta (Czech Republic), Sylvain Chavanel (France), Tom Dumoulin (Netherlands), Michal Kwiatkowski (Poland), Peter Velits (Slovakia) and Alejandro Valverde (Spain) will have but one stage in which to wear their national champions jerseys in the time trial at the Tour.
