Abdel Said (good friend) contributed individually. It is 16th with 1.94 penalty point (77.81)
The first test, a scale C 1m50, only saw the time counted, the penalties were converted into seconds (a featured bar is worth 4 seconds) and all transformed into points.
The second of the three events will take place on Thursday (3:00 p.m.) with a scale A which will qualify the 10 best teams (out of the 27 nations committed) and the 50 best individual riders (out of the 89 on track).
Friday (4:15 p.m.), the last team test will determine the podium and the top 25 for the individual.
The individual final will take place on two laps on Sunday with the top 25 first (2:00 p.m.) then the top 12 (4:30 p.m.) to determine the European champion and his dolphins.
Belgium was crowned by team in 2019 in Rotterdam with Pieter Devos, Jos Verlooy, Jérôme Guéry and Grégory Wathelet taking bronze two years later in Riesenbeck in Germany with Pieter Devos, Jos Verlooy, Nicola Philippaerts and Olivier Philippaerts.
