The GP Cycliste de Gemenc started today with its usual short, but very hard, uphill prologue in the heart of Szekszard city. The P-Nívó Betonexpress continental team took all, after its riders finished in the top three spots. Only two riders, Péter Kusztor and István Cziráki, managed to ride until four minutes on the very challenging parcours, but neither could best the circuit record of 3.46.51.

The race will continue tomorrow with a 190 km long stage around Szekszard's wine region.
