Riders are competing this week all over the world to earn the rights to wear their national colours for the next 12 months. While the Southern Hemisphere champions have already been crowned at the start of the year, but now it is the turn of the Northern Hemisphere.
There's also often more on the line than the national titles. For teams heading to the Tour de France start on July 6 in Brussels, the national championships can serve as a final selector for their Tour rosters. For other riders, especially the time trialists, a win in the national championships this year could be the first shot fired in the selection process for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
To keep you up to date will all the action over the coming weeks, Cyclingnews has compiled a list of the national champions.
