“We knew the differences would be very small, so I tried to get everything out of myself. We toured the track twice in the morning, looking at the more technical bends and the parts where we had a chance to gain any advantage. We were confident it wouldn’t start raining because it would have fundamentally overwhelmed our plans. This is a great competition, the organization is great, so far we are very satisfied with everything” – said the winner of the prologue, waiting for the award ceremony.

Of course, after the prologue, the order is the same in the general classification – the best young blue jersey was placed on the shoulders of Niels Michotte (Luxembourg) and the best Hungarian rider is Zétény Szijártó (Hungary).
