Stage 1: Szentgotthárd - Szentgotthárd, 167.6 kilometers
Stage 1 will be a day for the sprinters. Into Szentgotthárd, the race will favour the sprinters in it's first arrival with the first race lead to be decided in a flat finish.
Stage 2: Zalaegerszeg - Kezthely, 175.3 kilometers
Stage 2 of the Tour de Hongrie is another flat one. Not a pan-flat one, as it features two categorized ascents. However, none of them are significant and a bunch sprint should be inevitable as the race heads into Kezthely.
Stage 3: Kaposvár - Pécs, 180.7 kilometers
Stage 3 will be the first big day for the overall classification. It isn't a serious mountain stage but features a tough final circuit. There is a 4-kilometer climb at 4.7% to be ridden twice before the finish, but the final ascent to Pecs is where the race will be decided. It is 6.3 kilometers long at 5.7% to be ridden twice. The finale is then halfway up the climb, in a 3.5-kilometer climb at 6.1%.
Stage 4: Martonvásár - Dobogókõ, 205.8 kilometers
Stage 4 is ultimately the queen stage of the race. It features three categorized ascents before the final of the day. It is one split into two, with a steep initial hilltop that has 2 kilometers at 8.7% finishing with 9 kilometers to go. A short descent follows and then the main part of the climb to Dobogókõ is 8 kilometers long at 4.8%.
Stage 5: Budapest - Budapest, 152.3 kilometers
The final day of the race sees the peloton race into the capital. It is not an easy day as the riders take on 15 laps of an urban circuit which has a small hilltop. It's only a kilometer at 4.3% but throughout the day it provides opportunities to attack and for the breakaway to keep on pushing a hard pace. A sprint is expected to wrap up the race however.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
