Tour de Hongrie joins AIOCC

Tour de Hongrie and its organizer, Vuelta Ltd., have joined the AIOCC, an international association representing the interests of race organizers.

The annual general assembly of the Association Internationale des Organisateurs Courses Cyclistes (AIOCC) was held in Copenhagen on November 21, 2025, where the Tour de Hongrie was represented by race director László Szilasi. Nearly 100 race organizers from around the world attended the event. A total of 28 new members were accepted, including Tour de Hongrie. The member organizations also elected a new president: Javier Guillen, general director of the Vuelta a Espana, who replaced Christian Prudhomme, general director of the Tour de France, at the helm of the organization. Davide Lappartient, President of the International Cycling Union (UCI), also attended the event.

"It was a great pleasure and honor for us that the race organizers in the region asked us many professional questions, while praising the organization of the Tour de Hongrie, and to this day they look up to Hungary, which recently organized the grand start of the Giro d'Italia," Szilasi emphasized.

The AIOCC was founded in Milan in 1956. The professional organization takes a unified stance on issues of key importance to race organizers, such as the use of GPS trackers, the handling of road protests, and the cardinal principles of route security. The association currently has 201 members from 30 different countries around the world.
