In 2011, thanks to the support of councillors from Hlohovec, locals and especially sponsors, this special tradition was restored and once again Hlohovec has become the “opener” of the cycling season, the first spring race in Bohemia and Moravia. It is not only a top sports event, but also a cultural and social event.
