A few good climbers are present, most of them from Moser but Konig and Kratochvila have a chance to do something here.

Moser is in complete control of this race and at the foot of the final climb, Vakoc, Konig and Kratochvila are already the only other riders left in a group of 9.
Kratochvila then accelerates followed by Schlegel, Hirt remains at the back of the group for now.
Surprisingly, Hirt doesn’t seem to care very much today and Konig doesn’t have great legs, so it looks like it comes down to a 1v1 between Kratochvila and Schlegel.
No, that was a premature assessment. Vakoc brings himself and Cerny to the front. Kratochvila falls to the side as Schlegel now takes over.
Under the flamme rouge, it’s Schlegel versus Vakoc, or can Kratochvila come back?
He can’t. Vakoc and Schlegel sprint to the line side by side!
And Michal Schlegel pulls away in the end to secure the title and jersey for Moser! Strong performance by Vakoc, too. Hirt did attack in the end but only finished fourth behind Kratochvila.

Czech Championships - ITT
Four riders have a shot at the title, Hacecky is the only one who could stop Moser here.
Danacik is the first of the four to finish and he’s looking pretty good, even coming close to overtaking Hirt, who’s a good time trialist in his own right. How much are 1h05’42 worth?
It might be quite a bit: Hacecky finishes 50 seconds slower, basically sealing the title for Moser already.
Then comes Kukrle, also 50 seconds slower.
Which leaves only Turek, but he doesn’t even come close either. Jakub Danacik is the new Czech TT champion!
