On Friday, Bosnia and Herzegovina hosted its first-ever stage of an international team cycling race from the official calendar.
The first stage was held today from Sarajevo to Mostar, covering 139.1 kilometers, and the fastest rider was 20-year-old Marko Toth from the Hungarian team Team United Shipping, who finished the course in 2 hours, 42 minutes, and 24 seconds, maintaining an average speed of 51.5 km/h.
Romanian Sander Inion from the Madar Pro Cycling Team was second, and Pole Piotr Maslak from the Voster Team took third place.
As they passed through Jablanica, cyclists had the opportunity to see interesting and humorous messages from the youngest fans greeting them along the track. Photos from the Jablanica Live portal show boys welcoming the cyclists with hilarious and creative messages by the roadside.
“Burek is only made with meat here”, “Who gave you a vacation?”, “Blink T
Twice if you need help,” are some of the messages from the creative children who enthusiastically followed the race.
A total of 23 teams are participating in the race, who are competing for the title in the first stage race in the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The second stage will take place tomorrow, from Mostar to Ljubuški, covering a distance of 121.1 kilometers.
