Three of the ECP-Tau Cerámica Team's members have been selected to represent Spain in the upcoming European Championships to be held in Saint Wendel, Germany on May 17-18. Carlos Coloma and Martí Gispert will be riding in the elite cross country race, while Umbert Almenara will fight with the best juniors in Europe in the Continental Championships.

"This will be a good opportunity to race at maximum level. Carlos will fight to repeat the eighth place he got in last year's edition, while you can expect anything from Martí," said Team Manager Ramón Bartoló. "Both are talented riders and with a wide international experience. Umbert will do his best to be up in front, although the tests done at the junior races that are scheduled together with the World Cups prove that he is far from the best. We hope that the work done on the last two weeks will help him go a step forward".
