Cyclists from the Cuban national teams will take part in the Tour of Panama, which begins Sunday, August 21 and will be contested by at least 258 cyclists over seven stages.
The Tour of Panama 2022 will feature teams from Saudi Arabia, Spain, Panama and the United States, as well as the national teams of Guatemala, Costa Rica, Cuba and Colombia, the Pan American Cycling Confederation (COPACI) announced last few hours on its official website.
It will be a “big” tour, emphasizes COPACI. The technical congress and the presentation of the casts are scheduled for Saturday August 20, explained Emer Samudio, general manager of the Panamanian Cycling Federation.
“The Tour of Panama 2022 means much more than a cycling competition, it means showing the world how beautiful Panama is. Today, Panamanian cycling is at an excellent moment,” said Samudio.
“It means economic reactivation for the country, the Tour of Panama means tourism, it means health and culture,” he added.
In recent years, veterans and inexperienced personalities from Cuba have taken part in another emblematic street event in Panama, the Clásica RPC Radio, with commendable results among the participants of the best clubs in the region.
