The Australian Cycling Team began its 2022 UCI Under 23 Nations' Cup campaign overnight at Course de la Paix U23 – Grand Prix Jeseníky in the Czech Republic.

A 3.4km prologue in Jeseník proved to be a positive start for the six-man team, with Matthew Dinham Australia’s best finisher in 11th at +3 seconds.

Three further stages take place over the coming days, including a predicted decisive Stage 2 hilltop finish at Dlouhe Strane following a final 12.5km climb.
