Background of China International Road Cycling Race.

During the preparation for the Beijing Olympic Games, Mr. Verbruggen, former president of the League of Nations, put forward the proposal of holding a high-level international road cycling race in China. With the approval of the relevant units and leaders of the State General Administration of Sport, the International Cycling Union and the China Cycling Association signed a memorandum to hold this event in China. China Cycling Association, as the organizer of the event, has done a lot of pre-planning and preparation work, and in 2009 officially authorized China-Austria Sports Industry Co., Ltd. to undertake and promote the event. The two sides decided that the race would be held once a year, and reasonable arrangements should be made in terms of race road and prize design according to China's national conditions, so as to promote the development of road cycling in China, cover the major economically developed areas in China in the next 3-5 years, and make it a world-famous race that continuously displays the characteristics of China.

After the Beijing Olympic Games, Pat McQuade, president of the International Cycling Federation, presented a grand "grand plan". He hopes to hold the first Tour de France in 2009, making the Tour de France as important as the Tour de France. At that time, many people thought it would take a long time to achieve this goal. After all, although China has the largest number of bicycles and the largest production and sales volume, it lags far behind Europe and America in cycling, making it more difficult to build its own tour. However, this "dream" was finally realized on 20 10 through the unremitting efforts of many cyclists. China Cycling Association and the International League signed a memorandum to hold the top cycling race in China, aiming to build a world-class race representing the national sports brand. China Bicycle Association entrusts China-Austria Sports Industry Co., Ltd. to undertake this event.

The name of the trip to China actually appeared in China as early as last century. During the period of 1995, the Jian brand cigarette brand under British American Tobacco Company hoped to expand its brand influence by holding a professional bicycle race in China, and began to cooperate with China Bicycle Association and international promotion agencies to hold the "Jian Brand Cup Ring China Bicycle Race". The president of the American Cycling Association who participated in the organization of the event registered the name of the Tour of China, and the "Jianpai Cup Tour of China" was closed after two sessions of operation. At that time, although the name of the event was China Tour, it was mainly held in economically developed areas such as Guangdong, Shanghai and Beijing. The cities were connected in series by plane, which was far from the real multi-day road cycling race. Later, when the registration expired, another Japanese company took away the name "You China". They also did it for two or three years, and soon there was no sound. This time, China's own sports organizations and promotion agencies "nationalized" the name of the Tour de France, and began to establish China's own brand of top road cycling race.
