The thirty-second Azeri-Bijian Tournament will be held from 16th to 21st of October this year, hosted by three provinces of East Azarbaijan and West and Ardebil. The tournament, which is considered to be the most prestigious bike tour in Iran and the oldest cycling tour in the continent, still has some disadvantages to its quality.
One of the good host factors of a bike tour is the availability of flat asphalt roads, a fact that may not be so beneficial to the international tour.
The main axis of Tabriz-Urmia is the first day of the tournament, and the racers are expected to take the route in 4 hours. The road to this route is not very interesting, from the entrance to the city of Tabriz to the three ways of the island, which is about 1 hour,
From the 3 ways to the entrance to the bridge of the lake, the situation is well-suited, and re-asphalting is currently under way for this axis.
It is hoped that by improving the conditions of the cycling tours of Iran (Azerbaijan), we will be witnessing the most important occasion of this international tour.
The World Championship Cycling Championships will start tomorrow in Norway, which has not been issued by the Iranian team to participate in the tournament.
The 19th World Championship Cycling Championship is coming out tomorrow, reports the reporter. Shahrivar is inaugurated in Bergen, Norway, and Iranian recruits have lost their valuable visits due to lack of visas.
Irans recruits in the road segment over the past few years lost their participation in the World Championship due to distances or financial difficulties or lack of quotas. After several years of absence, last year, rebels arrived in Doha, due to their neighborhood with Qatar, in the eighth-ninth year of the tournament, and gained brilliant results.
Following the success of road-level recruits, the World Bike Union has four quotas, including a youth ration, a one-stop-quota in the hope sector and two races in the adult male segment for participation in world-wide annual events. Norway donated to Iran.
But while Norway has an embassy in Iran, due to the fact that the Embassys building was being repaired, the Schengen visa was sent to the consulate office in Dubai, and the cycling federation also received a visa application through a third party to obtain the visa. But with the prolongation of the work process, until today, the visa was issued, which eventually led to the cancellation of the Iranian trip and the burning of the quotas of the World Federation.
But why not send a national team to the tournament? The head of the Iranian cycling federation, Khosro Ghomari, said in an interview with the reporter, "The office of the Norwegian Embassy in Iran is in the process of being repaired and we have been operating through a third party to obtain a visa, which has not given us a specific response to date until the end of the team Do not go to these competitions.
He added: "We have been taking two and three months to get the visa for the team and myself, which I will be attending the World Summit, and there are two months that we are following, but burned for an opportunity." ?? It is also time to hand over the documents to interview, but when they did not give it to the team, I only did the interview myself because my invitation was earlier.
The president of the Cycling Federation of Iran stated: "My invitation to attend the World Election Cycling Round has been received since the Asian Roads Championship (Bahrain), but my visa has not been issued so far.
He also is in charge of the Asia Road Committee, saying: "If you get a visa and travel to Norway, I will be protesting the responsibility of the Asian roadway for killing in Myanmar and asking to change the host location of the Asian Road Race Championship. The Asian Road Race Championship is scheduled to be held in Myanmar, and I intend to raise this issue at the Asia-Pacific Summit held on the sidelines of the World Summit.
