Only one who springs to mind is Laszlo Bodrogi, a decent time triallist in the mid 2000s who later took up French nationality.
They've not got anyone in the World Tour. Their highest placed rider on the UCI rankings is a lad called Barnabas Peak, who competes through the UCI's World Cycling Centre. He had a few low level results as an 18 year old last season so might be worth keeping half an eye on.

I just passed a guy wearing a Hungary national team cycling jersey coincidentally.
Every year we have a 3 day race based in my home town, which seems to attract teams and riders from neighbouring countries - here, Hungary, Ukraine, Slovakia a few from Poland and maybe others from other former bits of the USSR. With the exception of Poland very few of these countries seem to produce top riders

Haven't tried watching it yet (it's the worst race of the year for finding a decent stream) but sounds quite eventful from the Twitters. Think there was some morning rain which muddied the cobbles up a bit. Geraint Thomas has also abandoned after being caught up in a crash.

DM for you
The French production team do a remarkable job with the pictures from this race, especially given the complete absence of compelling scenery.Last edited by ursus arctos; 08-04-2018, 12:39.

Reports of a rider needing a defilibrator & CPR after a crash and being airlifted to hospital, didn’t catch who.
Edit - it was Michael Goolaerts of Verandas Willems-Crelan.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 08-04-2018, 13:47.
