Tour de Taiwan 2007 - horrible promotion
I am very disappointed in Taiwan and their lack of information and support for the Tour de Taiwan 2007. It appears the race is secondary to the Taipei Int'l Cycle Show 2007. But then again I guess the show brings in the money.
Trying to find out start times and the race course on the web has provided me with a empty feeling. I can find a post here and there on the results and the teams participating, but trying to get past basic information has left me disillusioned.
As a category 2.2 (Asia Circuit) I am surprised finding information has been so difficult.
Stages
18/03/07 - Stage 1 - Criterium Kaohsiung - 88 km (40 laps)
19/03/07 - Stage 2 - Pingdong Circuit - 113.6 km (8 laps)
20/03/07 - Stage 3 - Chiayi Circuit - 131.5 km
21/03/07 - Stage 4 - Changhua Circuit - 117.4 km
22/03/07 - Stage 5 - Taichung City Criterium - 99 km (15 laps)
23/03/07 - Stage 6 - Chang Hua-Taipei Bali - 188.9 km
24/03/07 - Stage 7 - Criterium Municipal Gov. Taipei - 60 km (60 laps)
You can go to Cyclingnews.com and get information, but even here the links for 2007 go to the 2006 Tour de Taiwan page. It seems people just don't want you to view the event.
Teams Include: Health Net by Maxxis, Merida Europe, Giant Asian Racing, Drapac Porsche, Team Skil-Shimano, Continental Cycling Team Differdange, Team PZ Racing, Aisan Racing Team, Team Okinawa, Uijeongbu City Cycling, Hong Kong Team, Malaysian National Team, Thai National Team, Polygon Sweet Nice Team, Vietnam National Road Team, Chinese Taipei CKT, Taichung County Cycling Team, Taiwan Kinan CCD and e-MA Team.
With all these international teams you would think you could find a site with a map, English information or more news coverage.
You can check out CTCA if you can read Chinese. Even here items seem to be outdated.
