UEC Derny European Championships
The UEC Derny European Championships are organized by the Union Européenne de Cyclisme (UEC). The European Championship has been held annually for men since 2000 and has also been contested by women since 2019.
history
Derny European Championships were held as unofficial European championships by the Union Européenne des Vélodromes d'Hiver (UEVH) from 1956 and by the Union Internationale des Vélodromes (UIV), the association of commercial track cycling organizers, since 1979. They were not limited to starters from European countries and only reserved for invited athletes. Therefore they are considered unofficial. From the winter of 1971/72, the then international federation of professional cyclists, the Fédération Internationale de Cyclisme Professionnel (FICP), took over these championships as official championships under the name Championnats d'Hiver. The championships were still open to "non-Europeans" and organized in closer cooperation with the UIV. The Union Européenne de Cyclisme (UEC) has been organizing official Derny European Championships since 2000.
The Belgian Matthew Gilmore (2001 and 2002) and the Dutchman Matthé Pronk (2007 and 2008) both won the European Championship twice. The most successful pacemaker is the Dutchman Joop Zijlaard with a total of six wins. He won the European title together with Gilmore, Pronk, Bradley Wiggins (2003) and Peter Schep (2011). Zijllard is followed by Michel Vaarten and Cordiano Dagnoni , who also took part in Marta Cavalli's title win , with three titles each . (As of 2019)
In previous events, the Association of German Cyclists with Achim Burkart and his pacemaker Christian Ertel was able to win the title for the first time on August 19, 2017 . Stefan Steinweg / Peter Bäuerlein (2000), Theo Reinhardt / Karsten Podlesch (2013) and Achim Burkart / Peter Bäuerlein (2014) each achieved second place. Gerd Dörich / Sam Mooij (2002), Christian Grasmann / Jacques Petitpierre (2005), Stefan Löffler / Christian Dippel (2006) and Roger Kluge / Peter Bäuerlein (2009) each came third. Mario Vonhof took part in five European Derny championships as a racing driver and reached the final four times. This means that he has the most participations of all German racing drivers. With 13 participations in the UEC Derny European Championships, Peter Bäuerlein is the pacemaker who has the most participations. He and his racing drivers reached the finals 11 times.
The Austrian Franz Stocher became Vice European Champion in 2002, his compatriot Andreas Graf took third place in 2016.
In 2004 and 2010 the competition was canceled for organizational reasons. 2019 Derny Championship in was Italian Pordenone , together with the uprights European Championship held. For the first time, a Derny EM for women was held.
