Starting this season, the U23 Peace Race will be included in the Europe Tour 2.2U calendar. At the traditional event for the rising stars of the world peloton, taking place on 28–31 May 2026, development teams of WorldTour squads will line up alongside national teams.
The change follows the discontinuation of the U23 Nations’ Cup series by the International Cycling Union (UCI). “This opens up entirely new opportunities for us. The four-day format remains, but the peloton will be more diverse and the level of competition even higher,” says Peace Race President Robert Kolář.
Detailed information about the 2026 edition, including the individual stages, will be published soon.
