Attila Valter is one of three Hungarian riders lining up at this year\\u2019s Giro d\\u2019Italia. The other two, Erik Fetter of Eolo-Kometa and Barnab\\xe1s Pe\\xe1k of Intermarch\\xe9-Wanty-Gobert, will also enjoy rapturous support over the weekend \\u2013 but there is no doubt that Valter is the prodigious son of Hungarian cycling. At last year\\u2019s Corsa Rosa, he became the first Hungarian to ever lead a major tour, wearing the maglia rosa for three days. In 2020, when Budapest\\u2019s Grande Partenza was cancelled due to Covid, Attila told us he feared that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had dissolved before his eyes. Now, two years on, whatever the outcome, his dream will finally become reality \\u2013 as will the intoxicating pressure of the being the hometown hero, as Valter himself tells Daniel Friebe in our first Kilometre 0 of this year\\u2019s Giro.
