Cidade da Praia, 1 September (Inforpress) – The second edition of the Tour de Santiago 2025 kicks off on 5 September, with 24 athletes from various islands, promising to boost national cycling through three stages.

The vice-president of the Regional Cycling Association of Santiago South (ARCSS), Paulo Canuto, told Inforpress that the Tour de Santiago 2025 will feature 24 athletes, including 18 elite and six under-23 riders, from almost all the islands except Boa Vista, Maio and Brava.

According to the organiser, this second edition, which will cover a total distance of 228 kilometres (km) and 4,041 metres of accumulated elevation gain, is an opportunity to consolidate the growth of the sport in Cabo Verde.
