Historic 2nd place at the UCI Road World Championships U23 with Mathias Vacek

Our performance coach, Jakub Novak, was fortunate to be part of the Czech Cycling Team in this year’s UCI World Championships in Wollongong, Australia, and witness a historic ride by the Czech Team.

“We got historic 2nd place at the UCI Road World Championships U23 for Czech Cycling Team with Mathias Vacek. What an incredible performance and a great ride by Mathias. Mathias Vacek is now set to join the World Tour Team Trek–Segafredo in 2023 on 3 years contract and we’ll certainly see him very often in the pro peloton.”

“After the U23 road race, I was able to catch up with some of my former teammates, including Jan Hirt, Stefan Kung or Silvan Dillier. So good to meet them in person after a long time”.
