Just three days to go, and he’ll be in the spotlight: Štěpán Zuda. The 20-year-old from Liberec will be the only Czech rider competing in the EURO MOTO Sportbike class in Most from June 26 to 28, 2026, and after two events, he’s among the top contenders for the title. Spectators can expect a thrilling spectacle this coming weekend, with races in three highly competitive premier classes and four additional cup classes. Most is located just 20 kilometers as the crow flies from the German border in the Ore Mountains. By road, it’s 80 kilometers to Dresden.
If Štěpán Zuda has his way, he’ll reclaim the lead in the overall Sportbike standings in Most. With an unexpected one-two finish at the season opener at the Sachsenring, he got off to a dream start in the new EURO MOTO season and provided a highlight in German-Czech friendship. Zuda rides a Triumph Daytona 660 for the German Freudenberg RORA-PALIGO Racing Team from Bischofswerda. This immediately propelled him to the top of the Sportbike standings. Czech fans now have a new hero—and Zuda himself has set his sights on the championship title.
Just a year ago, Zuda was racing in the more powerful Supersport. The switch to the smaller sport bikes has since proven to be a great move. True to the saying “Less is sometimes more,” the Czech rider found that the new category is a perfect fit for his riding style.
After two wins at the season opener at the Sachsenring and taking the lead in the overall standings, Zuda has recently had to scale back his efforts, however. One of the reasons is his hand injury. Following his spectacular start to the season, he had the chance to compete in his home race in the Sportbike World Championship with a wild card.
However, the adventure came to an end as early as the Superpole with a serious crash. In the crash, Zuda sustained significant injuries to his hand. At the medical center, several deep lacerations and a finger scraped down to the bone required twelve stitches.
Two days before his next EURO MOTO race in Brno, the die was cast. Zuda gritted his teeth on the Grand Prix circuit, but a hard-fought third-place finish and a fourth-place finish weren’t enough to defend his lead in the standings. Now in second place overall, he heads to Most—after four more weeks of recovery and with the hope of reclaiming the lead in the sportbike class in front of his home crowd.
The Czech colors Supersport also well represented in the larger EURO MOTO Supersport class. A total of four local riders are competing there. Filip Feigl is currently seventh overall. His top-ten finishes in every race so far have moved him up the standings. There’s a lot of movement in the Supersport. Just two more points—and Feigl would already be in sixth place on his Yamaha.
The Czech team also includes Feigl's brother Petr Feigl, who is three years older and rides a Yamaha, as well as Filip Novotný (Ducati) and Jindřich Škopek (Yamaha). At just 17 years old, Škopek is one of the youngest riders in the entire field.
From June 26 to 28, 2026, every thousandth of a second will be up for grabs at the Autodrom Most, located at the foot of Hněvín Castle. Spectators can look forward to thrilling motorcycle racing in the three EURO MOTO categories: Superbike, Supersport Sportbike. The program is rounded out by the Kawasaki ZX-6R Cup, the Kawasaki ZX-4RR Cup, the Twin Cup, and the Pro Superstock Cup. Every minute is worth it. All weekend tickets include paddock access and entry to the Fan Walk. EURO MOTO in Most—it’s not just racing on the track, but an up-close and personal experience.
