Stage set for Tour de Pakistan
The Pakistan Cycling Federation (PCF) Secretary and the event’s organising secretary Idrees Khawaja claimed that cyclists from Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Republic of Seychelles, Austria and India are expected to participate in the 13-day event.
Apart from the international participants, nine local teams will also take part in the event.
“Ensuring the event is arranged in the best possible manner, we’ve already written to the provincial governments and since most of the stages take place in Punjab, we have asked them for their cooperation,” said Khawaja.
However, he warned that most of the international participants refused to come to Pakistan due to security concerns and the race might take place without a lot of entrants.
