For the first time in history, Cycling Tour of Szeklerland started from Hungary. The great moment came as a memorable popularity boost to the event considered to be one of the most important tools of sportdiplomacy in the region inhabited by native Hungarians in Romania. I was honored to present the opening ceremony and the first stage in Debrecen, taking the chance to wear my traditional folk costume on the stage. It's Szymon Rekita (POL) who was crowned as the winner of the 16th Tour of Szeklerland.
