Tour of Luzon draws 4 foreign teams
MANILA, Philippines — The Tour of Luzon was intended to resurrect multi-stage road racing in the country but its lure went into overdrive resulting in four foreign teams competing against 12 continental and domestic club teams in the eight-stage competition dubbed the “Great Revival.”
“We’re not even on the international calendar of the UCI (International Cycling Union) yet, but enthusiasm and interest about the Tour of Luzon are as feverish,” said Patrick “Pato” Gregorio, president of the organizing DuckWorld PH.
Joining the fray in the Tour of Luzon that flags off on April 24 in Paoay, Ilocos Norte, are the CCN Factory HK from Hong Kong, Malaysia Pro Cycling, Bryton Racing Team from Taiwan and Gapyeong Cycling Team from South Korea.
These squads will be up against fellow UCI continental teams 7-Eleven Cliqq Roadbike Philippines, Standard Insurance Philippines, Go For Gold Philippines and Victoria Sports Pro Cycling Team.
