Over six unforgettable stages, you’ll ride through spectacular landscapes, choosing daily between a challenging or a more relaxed route.
The biannual ESSKA Meeting will officially open upon the peloton’s arrival in Prague, marked by the ceremonial handover of the ESSKA sceptre during the opening ceremony.
