Because there are none - or at least no professional ones. [/QUOTE]Oh but there are. There is even every year a Tour of Hungary, where among several nationalities there are hungarian teams who compete. And we even had a rider in the Tour de France last year. Not too bad for a country with no traditions in cycling. [/QB][/QUOTE]Just checked my files, there is indeed one semi-professional Hungarian team called Icet Torobaliat (surprisingly also featuring a large chunk of Italian riders) in the lowest professional division, Trade Team III (lower than TTIII is pretty much club-related riding). Pity you have to be at least a Trade Team I (among the thirty best teams in the world) to be even
considered for a Tour de France invite; and even then only 20-ish teams will be invited.
And we all know Laszlo Bodrogi, right? [img]smile.gif[/img]
