While the Tour Romandie is getting all the attention of cycling fans this week, the Tour of Greece is a little lesser known. However, it attracts some renowned formations, such as the Trek, the Belgian team Bingoal or the Caja Rural. The latter is often in sight at the Spanish races and can rely on Eduard Prades, ex-winner of the rounds of Turkey and Norway, as leader.
