The Peace Race through the eyes of MND
MND has long supported Czech cycling and, as the main partner of the Peace Race, sponsors not only top cyclists from around the world but also the MND Children’s Race for 180 young athletes. We’ve organised a competition for fans to win two e-bikes worth 90 000 Kč.
Four stages full of drama
. The race began on 28 May and culminated on 31 May. The opening stage from Jeseník to Šumperk was won by the Danish rider Mads Landbo. He defended his lead in the gruelling second stage from Uničov to Rýmařov. The decisive stage was the queen stage, finishing at Dlouhé Stráně, after which Kamiel Eeman from Belgium took the lead. He went on to become the overall winner after the final stage to Šternberk. Czech rider Václav Ježek also shone, finishing third.
The MND Children’s Race attracted 180 young cyclists
Children and young riders also have their place at the Peace Race. The MND Children’s Race was part of Saturday’s programme in Kouty nad Desnou. Around 180 children lined up at the start – from the youngest beginners right through to older pupils. The youngest competed on shorter courses, whilst the older riders put their stamina and determination to the test.
Fans competed for e-bikes worth 90 000 Kč
We set up two MND activity zones for fans, in Rýmařov and Šternberk. Visitors could enter a competition to win an e-bike worth 90 000 Kč and have a go on the wheel of fortune for small gifts. In Rýmařov, Miroslav Šandera won the e-bike. He had long dreamt of owning one, but until now hadn’t had enough money to buy one. He was absolutely delighted with his prize.
In Šternberk, Michal Kotouč was the lucky winner; he plans to use his prize for family bike rides. Thanks to this success, he says he’ll be able to get his parents involved too. The vouchers for e-bikes were presented on stage by Milan Duba, Managing Director of MND Energie. He also presented jerseys to the best sprinters and climbers among the competitors.

Second well test of Dambořice 9
The last drilling here was in the summer of 2023. While the frogs were croaking then, now, at the end of winter, there are plenty of hares and deer roaming the surrounding fields. And in the evenings, beavers are regularly seen cupitating in the adjacent Burnt Creek.
Tours to Moravia introduced the work of MND to our employees, colleagues and customers
A total of 60 people went on a journey to discover the story of oil and gas extraction. All three tours with MND had one thing in common - none of the participants had any idea what a well looked like, they imagined the deposit as a cave with oil and gas underground and the gas reservoir as a kind of tank that we built as a storage. Actually, they had one more thing in common - without exaggeration, they all left excited. 60 people learned how sophisticated, demanding and often hard our people work on wells or reservoirs.
Flood relief in Mikulovice: A day full of solidarity and determination
In October, colleagues from MND Energy Storage set out to help people affected by the floods that swept through the Czech Republic and caused particularly severe damage in northern Moravia. Magda Lengálová has written a report for the readers of the Report, which can also serve as an inspiration - for example, to help the damaged municipality financially.
