- race Report
AJ August produced an aggressive display on the final circuit at the Czech Tour to defend his GC.
After some great positioning from Connor Swift, AJ put in a big dig on the penultimate ascent of the final stage, thinning down the group substantially.
While the American was not quite able to fight for the stage win, his aggressive racing meant he crossed the line seventh, to end the four-day race in the same position overall at just 18 years-old.
