3,500 Amateur Cyclists Lived the Tour de France Experience

Despite the heat, 3,500 riders took on the challenge across four formats: Long, Medium, Short and Family Ride.

The new route showcased some of the most beautiful roads around Prague, while thousands of spectators created an incredible atmosphere from start to finish. Their energy transformed the day into a true celebration of cycling and helped riders push through the demanding conditions.

Sporting Legends Alongside the Peloton

This edition was also marked by the presence of exceptional ambassadors from different sporting backgrounds: cycling legend Peter Sagan, football icon Petr Čech, former professional cyclist Zdeněk Štybar, speed skating champions Martina Sáblíková and Metoděj Jílek, and biathlon Olympic medallist Michal Krčmář.

Their passion, energy and interaction with participants made the event even more memorable, inspiring riders throughout the day and adding to the unique atmosphere of L’Étape Czech Republic by Tour de France.
