❌ Stage 5 has been neutralised. Having discussed with the race organisers and the UCI, the route was deemed too dangerous to race in these wet conditions. The race will start at 12:00, and will be 8 ceremonial laps of the Budapest circuit. — 🇭🇺#TourdeHongrie
The final stage of the 2023 Tour de Hongrie has been officially neutralised due to dangerous conditions and wet roads proving too much of a risk.
According to the official Israel - Premier Tech Twitter account, "Having discussed with the race organisers and the UCI, the route was deemed too dangerous to race in these wet conditions." The Tweet goes on the reveal that "the race will start at 12:00, and will be 8 ceremonial laps of the Budapest circuit."
Due to this announcement, Marc Hirschi will be the winner of the 2023 Tour de Hongrie after managing to hold on to the overall race lead after a dramatic conclusion to the fourth stage that saw multiple attacks by the likes of INEOS Grenadiers Egan Bernal and Team DSM duo Oscar Onley and Max Poole.

- The other commenters are exactly right - different eras. It does help that bikes now have lower gears without sacrificing higher ones. Merckx rode up mountain passes with a 5 speed cluster- and I doubt he had anything less than a 42x24. See how exhausted you'd be going up Mont Ventoux with that, lol.ScottG14-11-2024
- Times have changed, Bart Wellens, and it's only natural and makes total sense that riders like Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel's primary focus is on their road careers. It has absolutely nothing to do with doing a 'disservice' to the UCI.
santiagobenites14-11-2024 - Bad for us, good for them, indifferent for newcomers. When a bank offers you 50 to open an account is that good or bad? Good for you, bad for existing clients paying for it who received nothing when they joined, indifferent for future new clients who might get 100.Mistermaumau14-11-2024
