Preview:

War just a couple of months ago, but still cycling goes on in Yugoslavia. "The situation is quite calm and hotels, restaurants and communications are working well," said Swedish Team Wirsbo's manager Patrick Serra who reports for us from this race.

"There is a fuel shortage but the organizers help us and of course you can see destroyed houses and bridges, but it's still hard to believe that the bombs fell here only a couple of months ago," he said.
