The provisional entry list is here!​

97 Grand Tour stage wins, 21 world championships, 2 Olympic titles and 14 Hungarian riders on the provisional entry list of Tour de Hongrie 2024.

Although the teams can change their lineup until 7 May, it is always interesting to see which riders are planned to participate in the race. We can find 14 Grand Tour stage winners on the list: Mark Cavendish (54), Peter Sagan (18), Elia Viviani (9), Dylan Groenewegen (5), Dario Cataldo (2), Marc Hirschi, Alessandro Covi, Óscar Rodríguez, Luka Mezgec, Jordi Meeus, Cesare Benedetti, Michael Morkov, Valerio Conti and Kristian Sbaragli (1). Sagan and Cavendish are the first elite world road race champions ever to participate in our race. There are multiple track world champions in the peloton as well, including Cavendish, Morkov (Olympic champion as well), Viviani (Olympic champion as well), Ethan Hayter, Kelland O'Brien, Campbell Stewart and Cameron Scott.

The list of the best sprinters includes Cavendish, Groenewegen, Viviani, Arvid de Kleijn and Jordi Meeus. Reginging champion Marc Hirschi, 2021 Tour de Hongrie champion Damien Howson, Óscar Rodríguez, Yannis Voisard, Ethan Hayter and Sylvain Moniquet can be the biggest favourites in GC.

Very good route given the Hungarian topography, a shame that there are a) hardly any decent climbers/puncheurs and b) half of them are on UAE.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Can‘t wait for the epic battles of Sagan, Viviani and Caven… wait what, it isn‘t 2013 anymore???

 

[AmRacer]

For those who didn't made it to their Giro team.

Please stop this poll nonsense.

 

[Sciatic]

Isn’t 4 months a bit of a long race?

 

[Slavique Nuke]

It's easy to spot the americans here

 

[Jacques (7 ch)]

Wouldn’t it have been better ridden the other way around? Pecs-Siofok (Presumably palacsinta flat) first?

 

[Squire]

The #freeLander movement to gain further traction!

What is going on? I thought Sagan retired from the road and it appears he is back riding for a team with the unlikely name of Pierre Baguette Cycling. This sounds like some undercover operation dreamt up by the CIA to infiltrate Hungary. I will investigate this further.

He only retired from the WT/Pro Conti peloton, he singed for Pierre Baguette Cycling at the start of the season.

I assume for fun and to keep fit?

Riding a couple of stage races with the team for prep/fitness as he try’s to qualify for the MTB at the Olympics, also his brother is one of the DS’s

Oh, shut up!

Greatest poll in the last couple of months. Keep up with the good work @AmRacer

Just a reminder to everyone:
The race starts today, it does not start on the 5th of August.

Also keep in mind, that they race PM, and not AM (if you're in most of Continental Europe).

It would be less obtrusive for local traffic it was the other way around.

 

[RedheadDane]

So, errr... where does today's stage finish?

 

[tobydawq]

In Hajdúszoboszló?

It's a good thing the last two syllables are there, otherwise it would sound a bit offensive to a Danish ear.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Sagan has already managed to crash

 

[RedheadDane]

Welsford... but holy *** that crash looked bad.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Cavendish launch his sprint on the right side of the road and then immediately drift all the way to left barrier. Come on man.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Utterly ridiculous deviation from Cavendish there

 

[tobydawq]

Liepins should get a month on the sideline for causing that crash.

Quaranta 2nd. He is Ivan's son, I guess?
