From Gyula, the caravan will head towards K\u00e9tegyh\u00e1za and then B\u00e9k\u00e9scsaba, before returning to the start location from Doboz. The peloton will finish in B\u00e9k\u00e9scsaba after 2.5 laps. The 143-kilometer, completely flat stage could be made chaotic by the wind, but it is likely that the sprinters will battle it out for the first yellow jersey of TdH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gyula will be a host city of the Tour de Hongrie for the first time. One of the most famous sights of the historic spa town and resort, Gyula Castle will provide a picturesque backdrop not only for the start, but also for the Team Presentation on 12 May. Two intermediate sprints will also take place in the hometown of Nobel Prize-winning author L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Krasznahorkai. B\u00e9k\u00e9scsaba will host the Tour de Hongrie for the 10th time. One of the great historical bastions of Hungarian cycling joined the race circuit in 1935, and in addition to three starts and six finishes, the last team time trial of the race to date was also held here. The peloton last visited the seat of B\u00e9k\u00e9s County in 2005, when German champion Gerald Ciolek won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/1\/viewer?ll=46.46940737266357%2C19.490369958803058&amp;z=8&amp;mid=15hRBD2TahMASm8Vqwy84_-8HT-IU2ww\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Detailed route (Google Maps)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Start:\u00a013 May 2026 (Wednesday) 13:20 (CET), Gyula Castle Finish:\u00a0~16:30 (CET), B\u00e9k\u00e9scsaba, Bajza Street Elevation gain:\u00a0109\u00a0m Tour de Hongrie 2026 will&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":78577,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2465,2466],"tags":[2464],"usertype":[52,46],"class_list":["post-79737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tour-de-hongrie","category-tour-de-hongrie-route","tag-tourdehongrie","usertype-local","usertype-tourist","post-variant","post-variant--saffron"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-30 21:25:07","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/53"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79737"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79737\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79895,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79737\/revisions\/79895"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79737"},{"taxonomy":"usertype","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertype?post=79737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
