The climb to Ještěd, the only new element on this year's route compared with 2025, is the first of three consecutive summit finishes that shape the Czech Tour. Despite its length, it is a climb that chiefly favours punchy riders.\n\nThe reason is that, while its gradient suggests a finish among a reduced group of contenders (just over 12 km at 4.5%), the final kilometre averages 10%. Those targeting overall victory will wait for those ramps to deliver the first blow.
