As for Czech Republic ?
Martin Mares from PSK Whirlpool...in elite category they have done 1-2-3-4
What happened with other countries? Belarus, Slovenia, Ukraine? I think they don't have North American time :-D

Ukraine: Volodymyr Starchyk (Amore & Vita - McDonald's) Slovenia: Blaz Jarc (Adria Mobil)
(Brajkovic 4th) Belarus: Yauheni Hutarovich (FDJeux) defended
(Aleksandr Kuschynski 2nd as in all three previous years - fourtimes second, not bad )
@mrlol: about the dutch championships, I wish Joost van Leijen had won. Strongest guy in the race. I still don't get it why he never got a contract at Rabobank. At junior level world class, at espoir level national top, and last 3 years always national top and even in 2.1 and 1.1 belgian races he did well. And he is still at van Vliet...wtf
I reckon Vacansoleil, Skil or maybe even a Pro Tour team will pick him up for next year. If not, they are really idiots.

Yeah, just what I said; He'll be a pro next year. Amazing effort what he did. I think the strongest guy today. He just was at the wrong team, and didnt have the luck he needed.
Still, I cant wish he'd won. I must keep supporting Koos for living in the same village as me
@ that video: start watching at 5:30. Moerenhout is the guy coming from the back. Watch him. The other are Tjallingi and Langeveld (Rabo), Van Hummel (White/skill), Traksel (vacansoleil), Engels (quick step) and van Leijen (Van vlie;white/red)
Race note:
For the first time in years the use of race radios was prohibited during the French national road championships. “"It was funny, there were more conversations between riders, it was another race,” said Champion.
- fourtimes second, not bad
