European Championships 2026 - Route details?

[HalfOfTheHill]

Has anybody picked up any rumours about where or what this year's route(s) will look like? They are badged as being in Ljubljana, but I assume - given the Pog factor - we should expect something hillier than a city/glorified crit circuit.

There are rumours this climb will be included.

The route isn't known yet but the dates will be the following:

3 Oct: Road Race Men Jun. - Wom. Elite
4 Oct: Road Race Wom. Jun. - Men Elite
5 Oct: Road Race Men U23 - Wom. U23
6 Oct: Team Time Trial Elite - Jun.
7 Oct: All Individual Time Trials

So this means that the TT will be held after the road race and only 3 days before Il Lombardia, which makes sense because it gives riders more time to come from Canada to Slovenia the week before.

Pogacar already showed interested in riding both the RR and the TT but he will only make a final decision after the Tour.

I saw something about a 2km climb at 10% for the road race maybe. That Pogi had made a route and this climb could be included. We already knew they would make it perfect for him but now he also has a say about it.
