A Cycling Tour of Bohemia

Here’s another sports tip. If you’re a sports fan, the Czech Tour Cycling race takes place on Thursday—it’s the most important and largest stage race in the Czech Republic.

The first stage begins right here in Prague at Vítězské náměstí at 11:50 a.m. and ends in Karlovy Vary. The race’s starting point is elegant, yet it also captures the energy of the big city with a beautiful view of Prague Castle. The race traditionally attracts a high-caliber international field.

From there, the peloton will head toward Karlovy Vary. Riders from the world’s top cycling teams will face a 163-kilometer course with 2,311 meters of elevation gain. 💥

At both the start and finish, spectators can look forward to a rich supporting program and a spectacle that every cycling fan should experience! 😎
