Armenia to hold a four-day cycling race in 2019
Deputy Director of Armenian Cycling Federation Martin Sharbatyan has revealed that they plan to hold a four-day cycling race among junior athletes in 2019.
“It will consist of 11 stages and carry the name Tour de Armenia. We want to invite 10 teams from other countries. Of course, we’re going to need a substantial sum, around AMD 15 million, but we’ll try to make it happen,” he told the press.
Sharbatyan emphasized that the federation has discussed the initiative with acting Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs of Armenia Gabriel Ghazaryan, who he gave the approval.
