Great news! 🔥 Jan Hirt will race this year's Sazka Tour, bringing the packed Intermarché Wanty Gobert team with him! We welcome the third World Tour team to our starting list, so make sure you don't miss out this week! #sazkatour
The Sazka Tour will be taking place from the fourth to the seventh of August as one of the preparation races for the Vuelta a Espana. It will take place in the roads of the Czech Reupublic, with a mixed route that is to the liking of many riders.
The four day stage-race begins with a hilly day, however perhaps the one that suits the sprinters best with a flat circuit finale in Prostejov. Stage two will be a different affair as the race will head towards the mountains, with a double ascent to Pustevny (7.9Km; 6.6%) set to make the first big differences in the overall classification.
Stage 3 will be the queen stage, where the riders will have the shortest however the hardest stage into Dlouhé Stráne. This will be after two ascents of the Přístřešek pod Horní Nádrži climb which is over 12.5 kilometers long at 6.5% average gradient in it's final passage. The final day finally will see the riders race into Sterberk, in what is a hilly day with a very complicated start, and an explosive circuit which includes an 800-meter climb at 9% which will be raced four times.
Stage 1: Unicov - Prostejov, 196.2Km
Stage 2: Olomouc - Pustevny, 189.3Km
Stage 3: Moravská Trebová - Dlouhé Stráne, 148.7Km
Stage 4: Sumperk - Sternberk, 179.9Km

- Relax. It's only entertainment. No one pretended it to be otherwise. Sir Mark deserves such a spectacle and a salute. No need to be such a tight a**BM12-11-2024
- When it comes to saying stupid things, Thijs Zonneveld takes the cake. It's as if he's never followed bike racing before.
santiagobenites12-11-2024 - Most of Cavendish's wins where off the back of a sprint train so ½ of the effort was already done...
leedorney12-11-2024 - Quite right, writing off Jonas for 2025 victory after what he still managed under the circumstances is a big mistake. Riders are probably peaking younger these days which means they may not last as long and we might have to stop expecting progress until early thirties.Mistermaumau12-11-2024
- You only had to look at the faces of half the riders at the front to see what was going on. Looking to the side into tge crowds to hide their incapacity to stay serious and concentrated.Mistermaumau12-11-2024
- Maybe the greatest sprinter on roads but not the greatest pure sprinter, I think that’d be the chap who consistently beats everyone almost all the time, who at 27 has already been world champion 16x, european champion 12x, amassed 5 olympic golds plus a bronze and is far from finished. He may not becomes the first ever person to average 80km/h in a sprint (without a lead-out) but no-one has got closer.Mistermaumau11-11-2024
- If one can improve so can the other. The other day we were discussing Tadej’s leg shape change, if that is anything to go by, Jonas has plenty of potential left too.Mistermaumau11-11-2024
- He should exit to free up.the budget for younger riders and help the team reach its full potential. Basically he is just taking from the team at this point because he cannot bring any new money in from his performances. I mean sure getting to live the life of a pro another year as a circus attraction of sorts might be fun but it's just gotten selfish the past 2 years.northcarolinaeric11-11-2024
- Pog is the modern day Merckx. And the best part is he is a very nice guy too!
ScottG11-11-2024 - ok, I respect your opinion but I don't agree with your perception. We talking informally about cycling, riders, who it's a pleasure to watch in more competitions, etc. Then we can't talk about nothing because all is hurting, all is incorrect..
