Mathias Vacek won the mass-start race at the joint Czech and Slovak road cycling championships in Jeseník, repeating last year's winning double after Thursday's time trial. The favored Czech rider from a leading WorldTour team secured the third national title of his career in the mass-start race. denik.cz ↗

The race was marked by high temperatures and a demanding profile. It was originally supposed to measure nearly 210 kilometers with 4,350 meters of elevation gain, which would have been a record for the joint championships, but it was ultimately shortened. On the final climb to Rejvíz, Vacek shook off his last rival, Tomáš Přidal, and claimed victory in the demanding conditions. irozhlas.cz ↗

The Slovak champion title went to Lukáš Kubiš of the Unibet Rose Rockets team, who won the title for the third year in a row. At the championship in Jeseník, he triumphed with a time of 4:30:18 h. Due to the heat, the majority of riders withdrew, which further underscored the difficulty of Sunday's program. sport.pravda.sk ↗

The results confirmed the dominance of both favorites in the national rankings. Vacek built on his time trial success and defended the Czech double, while Kubiš extended his streak of Slovak titles. The joint championship in Jeseník thus brought decisive victories for the defending champions, as well as a race affected by extreme weather and a reduced course. sport.cz - fotbal ↗
