Czech Cycling Tour

The Czech Cycling Tour (known as the Sazka Tour for sponsorship reasons) is a multi-day road cycling race held annually in the Olomouc region in the Czech Republic. It was created in 2010 and was initially part of the UCI Europe Tour in category 2.2, but in 2015 moved up to 2.1. The race originally took place in July but the 2015 edition was held in the middle of August.[1] The race was renamed to the Sazka Tour in 2021, following sponsorship from Sazka, the Czech lottery.[2]
