Czech Tour 2026 is now complete, but the safe desk still keeps the whole four-stage route in one spoiler-free read: Prague to Karlovy Vary first, then the selective Ještěd, Dlouhé stráně, and Pustevny climbing block that shaped the race's UCI ProSeries debut. The spoiler route now carries the official Stage 4 result, final standings, jersey leaders, and...

Watchlist

Riders to watch

A sourced race-week watchlist built from the official Czech Tour 2026 start-list feature and the official route announcement.

Mikel LandaSoudal Quick-StepMountain GC anchor

The organizer's start-list feature names Landa as one of the big favourites for the GC, and the Ještěd, Dlouhé stráně, and Pustevny finishes give him three straight mountain filters after the Prague opener.

Confirmed start list
Jack HaigNetcompany INEOSLate-climb GC marker

The organizer's start-list feature puts Haig at the front of Netcompany INEOS's GC hopes, and the back-loaded route gives him three selective climbing finishes where a steady GC ride matters more than sprint speed.

Confirmed start list
Bob JungelsNetcompany INEOSVersatile route breaker

The organizer's start-list feature adds Jungels to Netcompany INEOS's headline names, and the mix of a hilly opener plus three harder climbing finishes gives a versatile attacker multiple ways to shape the race week.

Confirmed start list
Jan HirtNSN Cycling TeamHome-road mountain card

The organizer's start-list feature makes Hirt the central home-road reference point, and the Czech mountain block from Ještěd through Dlouhé stráně to Pustevny gives the local climber the clearest route-specific stage and GC opening.

Confirmed start list
Joseph BlackmoreNSN Cycling TeamYoung climbing co-leader

The organizer's start-list feature pairs Blackmore with Hirt in NSN's race-week story, and a route that turns selective from Stage 2 onward gives the Tour de l'Avenir winner three straight climbing tests to attack or defend.

Confirmed start list
Jordan JegatTotalEnergiesTop-five climbing outsider

The organizer's start-list feature identifies Jegat as the rider leading TotalEnergies into the race, and the Czech Tour's shift from a hilly opener into three climbing finishes gives a recent Tour de France top-10 rider a clear route to chase GC pressure.
