The 2014 Gracia–Orlová was the 28th edition of a stage race held in the Czech Republic, with a UCI rating of 2.2.[1] It was the seventh stage race of the 2014 Women's Elite cycling calendar.
The 2014 edition of the race faced some organisational problems; there were two less stages compared to the 2013 edition of the race. The organisers had to cancel a stage only a month before the race, due to two sponsors dropping out.[2] [3]
The winner of the 2013 edition, Ellen van Dijk, did not start, as she competed in the concurrent Festival Luxembourgeois du cyclisme féminin Elsy Jacobs. Furthermore,, who won most of the stages in 2013, did not compete in the 2014 edition.
