(Video: Tour of China Road Cycling Race Route)
Official Report:
The 2016 Tour of China International Road Cycling Race will kick off its first stage in Wuqing, Tianjin on September 5th, traversing major cities across China over 17 days and concluding in Zhuhai.
This is considered one of the larger events in China. Since we can't participate in the Tour de France, let's do the Tour of China. At least we don't need a visa, and the offline race requirements are quite strict. Don't think that just because it's held in China, it's a knockoff. Even Codoon Girl can't handle it.
Teams like AK can participate together, but what about us individual riders? We don't care about rankings; we just want to participate, but the requirements are so high. Actually, we don't need to care. You guys go ahead and play. Continental teams, we Codoon riders will do the online race. I'm sure the running buddies have almost finished all the online marathons, but we can do cycling too. But today, let's talk about what the Tour of China is all about!
