From the 8th to 12th of May the ASO-distributed Tour de Hongrie has already attracted a few riders to be at the start line. Today the race revealed a surprise participant in the 2024 edition: Peter Sagan.
The Hungarian race has focused on the fast men, and has confirmed several high-level sprinters as well such as Mark Cavendish and Dylan Groenewegen. Peter Sagan will join the previous two as a contender for the sprint stages as he will be racing for the Pierre Baguette Cycling team.
The event is not a World Tour level competition, but at least eight World Tour outfits will be present in the ProSeries event including UAE Team Emirates, INEOS Grenadiers and BORA - hansgrohe.
This will not however be Sagan's return to road racing. The Slovakian has been competing in a few Mountain Bike events throughout the past few months, but is also scheduled to race in four one-day events in Slovenia now throughout the month of March, as he prepares for the Olympic Games that are set to take place in July.

- I feel there is more to this than simple weight issue UCI are harsh but a disqualification as well. Maybe way off the mark but is there other factors or circumstances playing out herepaultryan200231-05-2026
- Seems like organizers wanted an Italian to win. This action is a hate crime and despicable. The giro organizers must be held accountablecaptmike31-05-2026
- The penalty may seem very harsh, but this rule is nothing new, and the UCI are very well within their rights to disqualify a rider for violating it. At the end of the day, the only ones that SD Worx - Protime have to blame are themselves.
santiagobenites31-05-2026 - Uci commissioners can be locally severe & they hardly ever reverse a decision - some of the directives & rules are contravening to the sport imo
leedorney31-05-2026 - Why didn't the team ask for it to be weighed on another set of scales to see if the scales are accurate? A and B samples as in doping cases.Cyclingsbestfan31-05-2026

- Did Ciccone happen to tell Derek what was going on between him and Rubio? Surely if Geegee knew their arrangement he wouldnt have charge ahead. Was their DS watching ? Confusing but anything for a headline.Davide31-05-2026
- Well E Balisamo might win some sprints now .A shame Cat crashed out ,hope she is ok.Davide31-05-2026
- If Tadej had to retire today, there would be trivia questions like 'Which legendary road cyclist never won the Vuelta?' He is probably happy for Jonas.Hills3331-05-2026
- he stays at home . . . so he is fresh for other races LOL and reading the article the author writes it in a specific way that does not seem congruent with Tadej or Jonas's personality or relationship. I don't think Tadej would do anything but congratulate Jonas. they are competitors but very sportsman towards each other.mij31-05-2026
