Some mixed feelings after this one. We decided early to put all of our eggs in Kubiš' sprint basket.
He kicked things of with a third place, his best result of the year so far. The day after four of us made it through the echelons yet an 11th place was a slightly disappointing stage result. Glad to gain around 1 minute on several GC riders though. Boxed in on day three, Ťoupalík was our top finisher, only in 18th.
Daniel Rubeš lost the mountain jersey on day four and Kubiš launched a little too early, dropping from second to sixth in the final meters. A mistimed sprint train on the ultimate stage didn't keep him from concluding in third overall due to bonus seconds won at an intermediate sprint.
Our first young riders jersey and the teams classification were nice rewards too.

Probably the best couple of races we've had this year. Looking back, Kubis launched a little too early in Norway and could have done even better than his fifth place. Despite facing Belgian and French Pro Teams in the region of Bretagne, Toupalik matched our result from the Norwegian race at Tour du Finistère.
Zahalka's late attack almost secured our first win at Boucles de l'Aulne. Sadly, Burgaudeau pipped him just on the line. |

Expectations for our trip to Luxembourg: getting bullied by some strong conti sprinters once more, especially with Teutenberg on the startlist.
Where do I start? We somehow managed to catch him off guard on the first day, as Lukáš Kubiš sprinted to our and his first win of the year. Teutenberg would make up winning the next two sprints.
Jakub Ťoupalík tried to win the fourth stage with a late acceleration and he did, sadly without opening a gap to the bunch. Without getting involved in the last mass sprint, several riders moved up in the final standings.
We concluded our best race so far with two stage wins, the teams classification and four men in the overall top 10.

Home rider Martin Laas secured a close win at the prologue, beating Medway by a mere second. Tomáš Přidal's 11th place was a promising start.
The cobbles in the final of both stage two and three hurt us in general and the sprint chances of Kubiš in particular. At least two of our men finished in the first group twice. A gap in the final one shuffled the final top 10 and made Kubiš and Boroš move into the GC top 5. Přidal could have done the same if I had made him sprint too.
Don't even get me started on the race in Denmark. |

Alejandro Osorio made an early bid for a good GC result beating top favourite Martin Toft Madsen on the prologue. Winning the second stage too made things look even better for him.
Boroš lost more than 40 seconds on the first day, then earned his team captain role on the second, finishing 5" behind the Osorio group.
Better tactics than the day before ended with Michael launching a smart attack 5 kilometers from the line on the last day. He secured our third stage win of the year and kept a small gap too, leaping onto the final GC podium. Zahálka won the KoM standings just pacing over one cat.1 climb.

Prologues, just not our cup of tea at the moment. Boroš somehow lost just 17" to stage favourite Madsen. We also just missed the top 10 on day two, even without a sprinter.
Turns out we were just getting started. A very strong trio of our riders went clear and stage 3 ended with Boroš outsprinting the GC leader for the stage win.
One of our first proper summit finishes was the ultimate task. Boroš held on as well as he could and came seventh, enough to conclude the GC as the best of the rest. Pernsteiner won the queen stage to a local ski station from a group of four and secured a pleasant overall win on home soil.

Some of our riders will always remember where they were when Peter Sagan had a final crack at his home race. The legend of Slovak cycling had to settle for top tens at the first couple of stages.
We were even less succesfull. Zahálka lost his GC ambitions on the first day because of a crash and multiple punctures. As we kept missing out on top 10 stage results, we had to count on bonus seconds to play a role.
Ťoupalík tried a vain attack on the hilly stage, so we put our eggs in the Adam Kubelka basket from there. With not a single time gap awarded, bonus seconds earned him 5th overall.
Sagan got the better of Aaron Gate to win the final stage. He had beaten the Kiwi earlier this season for the Tour de Hongrie GC win as well. |

Got what we deserved here, won two of out of these five one-day races and got beaten by better opposition at the others. Good to see both Lukáš Kubiš and Michael Boroš secure another win. |

Despite the strong field with several Pro and a World Team, we started off with a solid 6th place for Lukáš Kubiš. The climbs on the next two stages, however, proved too tough for our riders. Luke Plapp won at the first summit finish, then Otruba secured a nice win for the local ATT Investments team.
Boroš had lost more than 8 minutes by the end of the third stage. We finished strongly with a second place for Ťoupalík on the ultimate day. Boroš gained a few places to conclude in GC 28th.
We'll hopefully be back to do better at our home race. |

Pretty good RR in Czech Republic, not to mention the two one day races.

We are very happy to announce the support of two new major sponsors, next to the prolonged partnerships with Elkov, Kasper and Kalas.
First off, the Czech branch of the world renowned insurance company Generali has agreed to become the new second name sponsor. This agreement further strengthens our deep-rooted connection to one of Central Europe's most vibrant national cycling cultures.
Looking to expand southward in the future, Croatia was a logical area to start negotiating, since the state no longer has a continental cycling team of its own. With the support of the country's national airline Croatia Airlines, we aim to sustain a strong connection to the Balkan pool of talent. |

All possible team captains bar Zahálka lost their GC ambitions on the first day because of a crash. Him and Michael Boroš still made us shine despite Kubiš' mediocre showings in the mass sprint. Boroš won the hilly second stage and somehow added the fifth to his tally as well, winning a messy bunch sprint. Zahálka couldn't shake the sprinters on the bumpy stage won by Michael, but 5th overall is still a solid result. |

Involved in both mass sprints, could not score a single bonus second though. Uninvolved in the GC because of that. |

We concluded the 2024 season with a race on home soil, hoping to go out with a bang. Kubiš did not give us start we had hoped for, only coming 12th on the first stage. Boroš stepped up the day after, winning the second stage by a small margin. We expected that not to be enough to get the better of good old Peter Sagan in the GC, especially when the latter won the third stage by a margin too. Boroš started the final stage with a 3" gap over Sagan. The Slovak legend could not get involved in the bunch sprint during a messy finale. Ťoupalík somehow secured our narrowest win of the season, securing the overall win for Michael and GC third for himself. |

Went from 12 to 15 riders on the team. Looking to sign someone for the longer climbs, we agreed deals with two promising riders in Kriz and Novák. Potocki and Gajdulewicz should give us more options for flat and punchy races.
Lukeš, Rubeš and Kubiš are gone because they left the team in real life too. |
