54th Course de la Paix Juniors / Junior Peace Race

The third day of the Junior Peace Race will bring the toughest profile of this year’s edition.

After the opening faster stages, the riders now face the first true climbing test of this year’s race.

Litoměřice, May 7, 2026 – Italy’s Brandon Fedrizzi made a winning start to the 54th edition of the Course de la Paix Juniors by taking victory in the opening stage from Litoměřice to Úštěk and securing the first yellow jersey of the race after a demanding 110.2-kilometre stage through the hills of the Ústí nad Labem Region.

The concluding Sunday stage around Terezín is one of the key moments of the entire Junior Peace Race. The profile of the final day, featuring repeated laps through Chudoslavice, could still have a major impact on the battle for the overall classification, particularly if the time gaps between the leading favourites remain small. The junior riders face a 102.4-kilometre stage combining a fast opening section, technical roads and four mountain primes.
