On the first GC day at the 2024 Tour de Hongrie, Thibau Nys has taken a statement summit victory for Lidl-Trek in a thrilling finale.
With six riders getting themselves into the day's breakaway, included in the lead group were two of stage 2 winner, Mark Cavendish's Astana Qazaqstan Team leadout train as both Michael Morkov and Yevgeniy Gidich went on the attack.
As the climb towards the line began, just two of the break remained out front, although only around 55 seconds ahead of the peloton. With 12.5km to go, race leader Martin Voltr of the Pierre Baquette Cycling team then attacked from the peloton although he didn't last long before being caught. With 9km to go, all the earlier attackers had been caught as well, with the peloton back at the front of the race.
With the Tudor Pro Cycling Team controlling things at the front of the bunch, the pace wasn't exactly blistering, with a large group still together heading into the final 3km. When Ben Zwiehoff of BORA - hansgrohe took over though, things accelerated and Emanuel Buchmann countered with 2.8km to go, with Marc Hirschi following.
Into the final kilometre though, Buchmann was a solo leader by around 5 or 6 seconds. As the chase stalled behind, the German was still in the final hundred metres before Thibau Nys powered around at the very last to take the stage win.

- This is such a black eye to women's professional cyclocross if this result remains. Marie Schreiber won this race fairly. This finish is not unlike others in cyclocross. Lots of moving around to get to the finish not to cut anyone off , but to generate a sprint on soft wide tires caked with mud and sand. This is not nearly the same as a road race between two riders sprinting to the finish on faster bikes and thinner firmer tires. The powers in charge need to use some common sense, reverse this result and remember this is Cyclocross not Road racing. Unbelievable. . .Zencycle09-11-2026

Rafionain-Glas09-11-2026 - again, nothing is going to be resolved. it is a discussion board. I simply said I didn't see how MS impeded LBs sprint. the UCI doesn't care about my thoughts, and I am really not that emotionally invested in it.mij09-11-2026

- I just love the flood of Americans into the top ranks of world cycling. In addition to being studs on the bike, they all seem to be excellent emissaries for our country.Occam09-11-2026
