Doesn't it seem strange that the country with, arguably, some of best riders in the world was not represented in the European Championships?

this european championship was BIU, not UCI. So that's probably why there were no french competitors. The coustelliers and Vincent used to compete at BIU comps, but they mainly ride UCI stuff.

More surprisingly is why did Benito Ros and Ot Pi not compete?

that site is so funny how it always gives excuses for the mistakes of the Spanish riders....
