The 31st edition of Hungary's national tour starts July 26, immediately after the finish of the Tour de France. Ranked as a 2.6 international race this year (up from a 2.12 event deemed of only national importance), the event has attracted riders from 12 countries, including the Netherlands, Germanym Slovakia, the Czech Republic - and six Australians from our own Team Cyclingnews.com.
2003 winner Zoltán Remák (CK ZP Sport Podbrezova) is back to defend his title but faces strong competition, especially from the top Hungarian P-Nívó Betonexpressz - FTC 1 team.
The race starts with a 3.5km prologue in Veszprém and loops round the country in an anti-clockwise direction covering a total of 853.5 km before finishing in the capital Budapest on Sunday August 1.
There are 105 cyclists in the field this year. The oldest is 39-year-old Frenchman Jean-Pierre Guillin while the youngest is Ákos Haiszer (18) representing the Hungarian town of Békéscsaba.
