According to the paper form, the success of Norwegian Per Strand Hagenes was brought about by the prologue of the 2021 Hungarian Youth Cycling World Cup. The cyclist, who will strengthen the Jumbo-Visma continental squad next year, completed the 3.8-kilometer distance in just 4 minutes 22 seconds.
“The composition of the peloton also shows that the race has reached a level compared to last year. This year, several cyclists came to Hungary who, with a little exaggeration, already have a paved way to become a professional. In addition, a delegate from the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) praised the fact that holding an overture and a closing stage in the center of a city of this size is an insurmountable challenge, even for traditional cycling nations in Western Europe. We would like to thank Dr. Ferenc Kovács, Mayor of Nyíregyháza, and Dr. Tünde Szabó, Secretary of State for Sport, ”said Zsolt Törzsök, chief organizer, at the end of the prologue.
