Not sure if any pro cyclists (or fans thereof) read this blog (actually, I’m not sure _anyone_ reads this blog), but the International Presidency Tour takes place in Iran this coming May, according to “the UCI”:http://www.uciasiatour.com/templates/UCI/UCI1/layout.asp?MenuId=MjA3NQ&LangId=1 and “this site.”:http://www.cyclinglinks.nl/
I’m sure more info is contained on the Cycling Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s “site,”:http://www.cfi.ir/ but I can’t read Farsi.
According to the UCI, Iranian riders comprise 5 of the top 10 ranked riders on the “UCI Asia Tour”:http://www.uciasiatour.com/Templates/UCI/UCI5/layout.asp?MenuID=MjA3Mg&LangId=1, including the # 1 slot.
