Stage 3 of Tour de Hongrie starts in Kaposv\u00e1r, then continues eastward after a short loop around Zselic. Before the finish in Szeksz\u00e1rd, the riders will face 152 km, three Intermediate Sprints and two categorised climbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With four starts and five finishes behind it, Kaposv\u00e1r is already considered an experienced Tour de Hongrie participant. Ahead of its tenth appearance, the city has also hosted the Giro d&#8217;Italia. During the 2022 Grande Partenza, the third stage started from one of the most important centers of Transdanubia. Almost 100 years ago, in 1935, a finish was already held on the banks of the Kapos River, which was our last starting city in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Szeksz\u00e1rd is one of the most important cradles of Hungarian cycling. The center of Tolna County has hosted prestigious competitions in recent years, such as the Gemenc Grand Prix, but the city has been bypassed for the past 23 years. The peloton has only visited the slopes of Szeksz\u00e1rd, also famous for its wines, four times, with Mikhail Chorniy winning here last in 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/1\/viewer?ll=46.46940737266354%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:\u00a015 May 2026 (Friday) 13:00 (CET) Finish:\u00a0~16:30 (CET), Szeksz\u00e1rd, Szent Istv\u00e1n Square Elevation gain:\u00a01080 m Another flat stage awaits the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":78581,"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-79924","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 21:37:03","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\/79924","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=79924"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79924\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79932,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79924\/revisions\/79932"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79924"},{"taxonomy":"usertype","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertype?post=79924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
