As reported: the second stage of the largest Hungarian bicycle race, the Tour de Hongrie, will start from Zalaegerszeg on Thursday, May 11, 2023, and will finish in Keszthely after covering 175 km. Between the start in Szentgotthárd and the final stage in Budapest, 879 kilometers, 7,554 meters of ascent, three sprint stages and two new mountain finishes await the international field in the 44th Hungarian Cycling Circuit, covering 8 counties in 5 competition days.

The field of the Tour de Hongrie starts from Zalaegerszeg at 12:30 p.m. and arrives in Keszthely, touching the Balatonfelvidék. The field starts from Batthyány Lajos utca in front of the Göcsej Museum, then leaves the city in the direction of Pózva along Kaszaházi út. The field starting with the lead car is approx. It leaves Zalaegerszeg at 12:45 p.m.

“The fact that Zalaegerszeg can be the starting city of the second stage of the circuit is a great honor, an event that gives a completely new experience, as interested parties can follow the preparations of the teams and competitors up close. In order for the unusual competition to be truly successful and popular in the county seat of Zala , and the start of the second stage should be worthy of the prestigious competition as a whole, we ask for the patience and understanding of the city residents, especially those living along and around the route of the competition in Zalaegerszeg, as the city’s traffic schedule is also limited to the time of the competition.
