Dutch cyclocross world champion Mathieu van der Poel will also compete in the Tour de Hongrie road cycling circuit.

The organizers of the Hungarian round announced on Wednesday that the Belgian Alpecin-Fenix team will start, and according to the current press reports, Van der Poel, the biggest star of the guard, will be postponed due to the coronavirus epidemic, from August 29 to September 2. in the field to be avoided. The Tour de Hongrie starts one day with the Tour de France, for which Alpecin-Fenix did not receive a free card.

The 25-year-old Dutch biker won the Dübendorf ATV bike championship in early February, becoming European champion in mountain biking last year, while winning a silver medal in the road race in 2018 at the continental race.
