All three of them are traveling to the champs with a victory from the past weekend, which has boost confidence for sure.

David Per is again racing for Slovenian team: “I’m very glad that I made it back to the elite team that will represent Slovenia on the European Champs. I was on high altitude training and I fell great and look to the race with lots of optimism. I hope I will fulfill all of the task that I will get from the team director and to prove myself and the rest that I can match the best out there.”
 
Young Gal Glivar had this to say: “I expect the most from the time-trial race. After that I will help my team on the road race. We’ll try to get the best possible result and take much needed points that could take us to the World Champs in September.”
