The Tour of Eritrea ({{lang-ti|ዙር ኤርትራ}}, {{lang-it| Giro dell’ Eritrea}}) is a multistage bicycle race held annually throughout Eritrea.

History

The first race was staged in 1946. It was promoted by the Italian community of Eritrea with the Italian name Primo Giro dell'Eritrea.[1] Its inaugural Tour of Eritrea had 34 participants and was won by Nunzio Barrilà of the team A.C. Piemonte.[2] It had five stages, with a very difficult Premio della Montagna (Stage of the Mountain).

In 1947, the second Giro dell'Eritrea was not allowed because of political reasons related to a growing guerrilla war in British occupied Eritrea. However, a smaller Giro/Tour was held in its place called the Giro delle 3 Valli ("Tour of the 3 Valleys"). It was won by Esmiles Zoli.

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.

Merhawi Ghebrehiwot won both the 2007 and 2008 Tours.

In 2009 the tour of Eritrea was recongnaized by the UCI for the first time .It was given a 2.2 HC and included 5 stage. The winner was Meron Russom and Bereket Yemane got the jersey awarded for the best climber [3] As of 2014, the latest tour was held in 2013 and was won by Mekseb Abrha Debesay.[4]

2008 results

Podium of the 2008 edition:

  1. Merhawi Ghebrehiwot (team EriTel) with 47.00 points
  2. Dawit Haile (team Asbeco) with 40.00 points
  3. Frekalsi Debesay with 37.00 points

The last stage (in Asmara, done April 20) was won by Domenico Vaccaro, an Italian Eritrean, of the team Medeber.[5]

Route

The Tour's route has changed since the colonial period. It consists today of a {{convert|670|km|abbr=on}} race contended in 5 stages.[6] The race covers various geographic regions, including the desert lowlands, the chilly highlands and windy coast.[7]

The Tour of Eritrea of 2008 was a bicycle race from the hot desert beaches of Massawa, up the winding mountain highway with its precipitous valleys and cliffs to the capital Asmara. From there, it continued downwards onto the western plains of the Gash-Barka Region, only to return to Asmara from the south.

This is, by far, the most popular sport in modern Eritrea, followed by many thousands of fans and with nearly 100 professional Eritrean cyclists. Indeed, the Tour of Eritrea is followed enthusiastically by the Eritrean population around the roads, like happens in the Tour de France of France and the Giro d'Italia of Italy.

Jersey

During the Tour, the previous stage's winner is awarded a blue jersey in recognition of their achievement.[8] A red jersey is awarded to those who win the climbing contest while the yellow jersey is worn by the overall Tour leader.[9]
