22th Tour de Hongrie: Start after a long break

After a long break of almost thirty years, the Tour de Hongrie was back on the road again, thanks mainly to the support of the chief organiser, János Sipos and Coca-Cola.

Csaba Steig won both the first and the last stages of Tour de Hongrie, but in overall, it was Germany's Jens Dittmann who took the first place - and he did it by taking it from the Canadian Perras on the last stage, by overcoming him after more than one minute deficit.
