Preview:
Favorite team to win the National is Moser - Sygic, not only with Petr Vakoc as the clear top favorite, but also with 4 other riders amongst the top 10 favorites. Josef Hosek and Jan Hirt the most likely to aim for a medal.
That said also other teams has a shot at the national champion title, most likely is Vesuvio-Accumalux’s Leopold König.
Festina’s Jakub Novak, Novatek’s Jiri Hudecek and Lierse SK’s Josef Cerny on the outsider list although more likely just to fight for bronze.
The Race:
The weather is fine, starting with a high pace but eventually after some 25 km, a breakaway is formed, four riders all riders from the amateur level.
The peloton is lead mostly by riders from Moser – Sygic, but also Vesuvio – Accumalux, Generali – EDF and Festina – Dexia. Notable we have seen König personally take a few turns
The breakaway is over with about 10 km to go and the fight for position begins, peloton reduced to 79 riders hitting the final climb.
On the first part of the hill the peloton is further reduced to just 21 riders, König attack with 3.3 km left.
2km to go, König in front
At 19” Vakoc and Cerny
Another 16” behind a group of 16 riders.
König first under the red kit, but Vakoc now very close.
At 20” Cerny
At 46” Cink, Hosek, Rabon and Novak
Next group 12 riders at 1’12”
Vakoc has the better sprint and acceleration but today he was too far behind, König slightly surprising win the Czech Republic RR Championship.
Welcome back to the Czech Republic Championships, now with the ITT. 22 riders are ready to compete, weather is fine should provide for some fierce high speed competition

Preview:
This could be one of the closest ITT Championship this season with four rider almost on par to take gold, Moser with two options Daniel Turek and Jakub Danacik, Festina with Jakub Novak and Kulczyk with Vojtech Hacecký.
On the outsider list we got RR winner Leopold König (Vesuvio) not impossible to see him takes another podium. Moser’s Jan Hirt and Novatek’s Jiri Hudecek next on the list but find it hard to imagine they could take a medal here.
The Race: Petr Vakoc first to set the time to beat, not the best tempo riders and most likely also a bit disillusioned after the RR, 1h11’05”
His time is soon beaten by Stybar 1h10’14”
Rabon next to take the hot-seat and with a very good time 1h09’46, though not a winning time impressive from him.
Hirt 2nd losing 7” just goes to show how good Frantisek Rabon’s time was.
König 3rd losing 11”, disappointing but winning the RR I don’t think anyone will blame him this time.
New best Danacik 1h09’05”
Soon after another new best Novak cutting 13” with 1h08’52
Right behind him another new best Turek with 1h07’44” cutting impressive 1’08” of the best time.
The final rider on the course is Hacecký, he has been struggling with the sector times 7th at first sector, 6th at 2nd sector and 4th at 3rd sector 1’19 behind.
He ends up 4th losing 1’37”, and the winner is Moser-Sygic’s Daniel Turek.
