Just after the close of the Polish championships for juniors and under-23 rider held last week in Zerków, Central Poland, the Polish Cycling Federation (PZKol) has announced the representatives for the U-23 European Championships, which will take place between July 7-10 2005 in Moscow.
The biggest star in the chosen riders is mountain biker Maja Wloszczowska (Lotto), the current European and World silver medalist, though at the moment she's signed as a reserve. Her trainer, Andrzej Piatek explained saying, "The situation is a little bit complicated and up to this time we don't know for sure if Maja will go to Moscow. She is preparing for the MTB European Championships now and this is the most important for us. We have to analyse the situation if it's useful for her to ride Euro Champs on road too."
