Through Stefan Marbler, the Austrian team is already showing its strength in last year’s World Cup race, as the rider ended up in the upscale ninth place of the general classification.
They are trying to do this to another level this year, as they come with two riders in their ranks who are growing up in the youth team of the Bora-hansgrohe WorldTeam organization. Alexander Hajek and Marco Schrettl are both members of Team Auto Eder. Schrettl is the reigning Austrian time trial and road race champion, and his repertoire is already glorified by a number of international achievements – while Hajek recently completed a French and an Austrian Youth 2.1 race in the Top 10. Besides the two of them, Leo Kerschbaumer is not to be described either, he won the stage at the Austrian Juniorenrundfahrt a few weeks ago.
Preminary entry list for the Austrians: Alexander Hajek, Marco Schrettl, Leo Kerschbaumer, Moritz Horandtner, David Preyler és Adrian Stieger.
According to the present position in the 2021 season, Hungary can host the opening of the three-round series between 20 and 22 August. The race starts with a 3.8-kilometer prologue in Nyíregyháza, and then the next day there will be two half-stages: a 89.9-kilometer rad race in the morning around Vásárosnamény, and a 41.2-kilometer road race in the afternoon around Ibrány. On the closing day, the caravan will roll again in the Nyíregyháza area, this time covering 108 kilometers.
