Luke Lamperti (Soudal-Quickstep) claimed his first victory of the 2025 season, out-sprinting Davide Donati (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) and Gleb Syritsa (XDS Astana Development) to take the stage and race lead on the opening stage of the Czech Tour.
Lamperti started up his sprint early after being led through the final turn by teammate Dries Van Gestel and then powered away to take the win and the first leader's jersey, with a four-second lead on Donati and six over Syritsa due to the time bonuses.
