Tour of Hungary - 2.6
Hungary, July 26-August 1, 2004
Prologue - July 26: Veszprém - Veszprém, 3.5 km
Local rider takes historic prologue win
For the first time since a prologue time trial was introduced in 1996, a Hungarian rider has won the opening day of the Tour of Hungary. Tamás Lengyel (P-Nívó Betonexpressz - FTC 1) covered the 3500m opener in 4:29.5, an average speed of 48.786 km/h.
The prologue was run in Queens' town, Veszprém (West-Hungary). The 3.5 kilometer long parcours included cobbles and potentially slippery sections, but fortunately there was no rain and all riders stayed upright through the prologue. Tamás Lengyel is a member of the strongest Hungarian team, P Nívó-Betonexpressz-FTC and won three stages of the race last year. He was just two seconds faster than Norwegian Morten Christiansen (Cykelcity.se) and four seconds up on Slovakian Zoltán Remák (CK ZP Sport Podbrezova), last year's overall winner.
Tomorrow's first road stage loops round the "Hungarian Sea" (Lake Balaton), between Balatonföldvár and Balatonfüred.
