Čech si dal poprvé sto kilometrů na kole. Uspěl a hned říkal: získal jsem motivaci do tréninku

Těžko si představit, že by perfekcionista Čech šel do závodu nepřipravený. Trénoval na trenažéru, na kterém si simuloval i některé pasáže ze sobotního klání. A už v předstihu organizátoři mínili, že může zajet solidní čas.

Skutečně uspěl, a tak hned říkal: „Získal jsem velkou motivaci do tréninku, abych za rok mohl absolvovat buď dlouho trasu (139 kilometrů), nebo střední, ale s mnohem rychlejším průměrem.“

Obvykle jezdí na horském kole zhruba 65 kilometrů, a tak téměř stovka na silničce byla největší porcí, kterou na kole spolykal. Zároveň při závodě působil Čech jako „inspektor“, protože českou L’Etape pořádá už pátým rokem agentura, jejímž je spolumajitelem.

„Byl to výjimečný zážitek. Překvapilo mě, že lidé nás povzbuzovali i mimo fan pointy. V lesních úsecích bylo vážně velké množství fanoušků, dodávali energii. Stejně jako když jsem měl příležitost prohodit na kole pár slov s cyklisty, kteří mě předjížděli nebo já je. A všichni si L’Etape pochvalovali,“ říkal Čech.

Nadšená slova slyšel i od vítěze Tour de France a pětinásobného olympijského vítěze Bradleyho Wigginse. Ten si střihl nejdelší trasu se 139 kilometry, na které se ale zastavil i na fanpointech, aby tu rozdal podpisy a vyfotil se s příznivci. „Fanoušci byli skvělí. Někde nádherně šílení jako na Tour de France. Myslím, že jsem viděl neuvěřitelné zaujetí Čechů pro cyklistiku,“ vyprávěl Wiggins, a především v Sýkořici na Křivoklátsku si připadal jako v horských etapách Tour, když projížděl nadšeným špalírem diváků. „Bomba, prostě bomba. Jako na Tour. Trasa byla parádní. Krajina úplně super. A silnice, po nichž se jelo, byly také perfektní. Rozhodně výjimečný zážitek v sedle kola.“

U jeho vět se rozzářil i Čech. „Je pro nás skvělou vizitkou, když Bradley Wiggins řekne, že se vrátil do módu Tour de France. Pokud legenda s pěti zlatými z olympiády vysloví takovou chválu, je to výjimečné.“

Nejrychlejší v hlavních kategoriích na 139 kilometrů s převýšením necelých dvou tisíc metrů byla Kristýna Zemanová z Vif Cycling Teamu a Jan Brňák z Lawi Stars Giant. Dobře si vedl i bývalý hokejista Milan Gulaš, který v této třídě dojel 201. ze 727 přihlášených.

Aaron Rodgers blamed Jets’ running game for team struggles during ’25-minute diatribe’

Getty Images A myriad of reasons explain why Aaron Rodgers' tenure with the New York Jets was unsuccessful and short-lived, but the four-time MVP apparently was never on the same page with his former team's offensive scheme, according to close friend and former NFL player Mark Schlereth.Rodgers, 41, signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this month after a forgettable stretch with the Jets."One thing Aaron and I had a conversation about when he was with the Jets was how abysmal the run game was, and how schematically, it made no sense," Schlereth said during an episode of the Stinkin' Truth Podcast. "I brought up the conversation, I started the conversation and then Aaron went on about a 25-minute diatribe on their run game. I was watching the Jets last year, it was the worst schematic run game I've […]

Today’s best MLB pitcher strikeout props: Back Mets starter against Braves at plus odds

The Milwaukee Brewers seek their fifth consecutive victory when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates Monday in the opener of their three-game series. After beginning a six-game road trip that had one contest postponed due to rain with a loss to the Chicago Cubs, the Brewers won the finale of that series and swept a three-game set against the Minnesota Twins. Milwaukee has scored 43 runs during its winning streak, crossing the plate at least eight times in each game - including Sunday's 9-8 triumph over Minnesota. Pittsburgh lost six of seven contests before salvaging the finale of its three-game series against the Texas Rangers with an 8-3 victory. The Brewers and Pirates split a four-game set in Pittsburgh last month, with three of the contests being decided by one run.Chad Patrick (3-7, 3.50 ERA) looks to halt his three-start losing streak […]
