The poster does not stop there. The top 5 of the last European championships will be present for a revenge on August 29. The Belgian riders had won their second European coronation at La Corugne on July 18 thanks to Gilles Thomas on his phenomenon, hermitage Kalone, Nicola Philippaerts (Katanga), Thibeau Spits (Impress-K) and Pieter Devos (Casual DV). Gregory Wathelet and Emilie Conter will complement the selection this time.
“Our team leader, Peter Weinberg has resolutely opted for a strong team. With this selection, we are likely to succeed in a great result,” said Gilles Thomas for his first participation in the Brussels meeting, quoted in the statement of the organizers. “We can feel the team spirit and the link between the riders and the public. After the euro, we received so many positive reactions. Of course I will be with my super-star. I want to give everything for this event which is five minutes from my home. I plan to align myself in several classes to make results there,” added Gilles Thomas in an individual bronze to the Euro.
