Despite the pandemic period, the Estonian national team was among the first to be nominated for the Hungarian Nations’ Cup race in 2020, and although they did not have too much laurel – Kert Roose was in the Top 20 in the fight for the yellow jersey.
There will be Lauri Tamm in the roster, who finished seventh of the prestigious Czech Grand Prix West Bohemian, while finishing third in the Mennen Kemmel Mennen in Belgium. Beside him, Frank Aron Ragilo has already put that on the table, but their captain could clearly be Madis Mihkels, who won the national championship both in time trial and in the road race also. In this way, the Baltic nation can come to Hungary with a very strong squad – it will be worth paying attention to them, as they may even cause surprises.
Preminary entry list for the Estonians: Madis Mihkels, Frank Aron Ragilo, Romet Pajur, Henry Grünberg, Lauri Tamm és Aaron Aus.
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.
