Tim Merlier added the European road race title to the three Giro d’Italia stage wins he had this season. The Belgian rider gapped the rest in the final sprint beating Olav Kooij (Netherlands) and Madis Mihkels (Estonia) for the title.
🇧🇪 Tim Merlier 🇪🇺 European Champion on the road!
Unbelievable if you see that he has some chain problems in the sprint. He looks down twice when he’s in the wheel of Philipsen, loses a lot of positions and still manages to win somehow. Insane. 🤯👏#Limburg2024 pic.twitter.com/fxyr0owhOa
