The inaugural Tour of Beijing is nearing its end and there
has been mixed reviews from the cycling community. So is the Tour of Beijing
good for cycling or bad for cyclists?
To be honest I think it is a bit of both; cycling needs to broaden
its horizons, but not at the expense of the riders’ health. Cycling in Asia,
when you compare it to Europe and even America, is almost non-existent. With
some big sponsors dropping out of the sport (not mentioning any names HTC) and
places like China are full of big business companies, who would be very willing
to invest.
