They are just looking after it during the race, because some has to wear it.
They don't win it or wear it after the race.
Wearing a championship jersey for a year would imply that they had won the race.
Would Remco want to wear the 2nd place European jersey over his Belgium championship jersey? Probably not.

The battle between him and Scaroni has been brutal
EDIT: Scaroni has neither a double r nor a double n

I guess if pog doesn't win the world's next year he can wear that euro jersey for a week

Well, the Worlds-Euros double is one Merckx never did, so I guess there's that.

Genuinely think I might skip it. Annoying that it falls on an international weekend for the football so there's not even a premier league match to watch instead.

Squeeens grabs another top placing a championship - comes in 5th, ahead of Ayuso.
Skjelmose 7th, so that's one for the Lidl-Trek training camp to sort out in the winter....

Absolutely honestly, I don't find it interesting at all. I love some tactics, a bit of prisoner's dilemma, working out how best to attack, what to do in different situations etc. None of that applies when the answer to everything is "attack solo from 60+ km out because you're stronger than even a small group of top riders".
For a long while I thought the issue was "second placism", where riders thought they were beaten already and stopped collaborating in the chase, as they tried to work out how to win silver. But I think he's able to put out around the average of a small group in the flat (some will be a touch quicker, some a touch slower) and take seconds from them in every climb.
There's literally no solution to beat him as soon as there's a few hills involved, unless he's on a bad day or suffers a mechanical, which never seems to happen, so I'm no longer watching a bike race (except for silver), I'm watching a bloke going out on a bike ride.

He is the real deal. Only just turned 19 and properly mixing it with the big boys. For those hoping for an end to the Pogacar hegemony, he's your best hope.
