Tour Of Eritrea
The Tour of Eritrea ( ti, ዙር ኤርትራ, it, Giro dell’ Eritrea) is a multistage bicycle race held annually throughout Eritrea. History The first race was staged in 1946.

In 2001, after a fifty-year-long hiatus, the Tour was resurrected as celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Eritrean independence. It was won by Habte Weldesimon, who repeated his victory in 2003 and 2004. Merha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
