Dlouhé stráně, the Czech Tour's most distinctive climb—and also a feature of the Peace Race, the traditional round of the U23 Nations' Cup—returns for a fifth consecutive year, this time as the penultimate showdown for the general classification contenders.\n\nIt is a climb with characteristics similar to the previous day's: long (14 km), not especially steep (5%), with the toughest slopes, around 8–9%, coming two kilometres from the finish. If no one has made a move before then, that will be the place to split the race on a day that is almost entirely about this one climb.
