The race:

The Österreich Rundfahrt (in English "Tour of Austria") is a week-long stage race. It was officially launched in 1949, though an earlier version was run in 1947 and 1948. That 1949 edition was won by Richard Menapace.

From 1949 to 1995 the Tour of Austria was an amateur race, 1996 being the first professional edition.

From the start of its professional history through 2004, the race was held in June, making it a perfect training race for the Tour de France. Since 2005, when the UCI upgraded its status to 2.1, it has been run in July, conflicting with the Tour de France.

There are some years that I have the elapsed times but not the distances and average speeds. I just can't find the distances for all the stages of those years.

In 2006 the Austrian tour was upgraded to HC status.

As of 2018, the Tour of Austria is a 2.1 rated competition.

The race was not run 2020 - 2022, but resumed in 2023.
