The itinerary of the 2006 Peace race has been officially presented in Hannover, Germany, on Wednesday, March 29. The 58th edition of the event, which had to be cancelled last year because of financial problems, will not include Poland on its parcours, but instead start in Linz, Austria, move over into the Czech Republic and finish in Hannover.
"It wasn't easy to organise our stage race in only four months and unite the different countries involved," race director Herbert Notter told German Radsportnews.com. "Our main sponsor, Skoda, did not want to start in Poland, and Poland wasn't interested in the race." Nevertheless 1274 kilometres long in total, the 2006 Peace race is scheduled from May 13-20.
