The Women Cycling Pro Costa de Almería, a one-day international women’s cycling event that will debut on the calendar on February 5 organized by Total Sport Mediterranean, will have the institutional sponsorship of the Junta de Andalucía, through its Education and Sports Delegation, after the agreement reached between the manager of the sports events promoter, Sergio Domínguez, and the territorial delegate of the area, Antonio Jiménez Rosales.
The sports delegate
He has expressed his “support for this classic female cyclist in the same way that we have been supporting the Skoda Titan Series” and he highlighted that “our climate and orography are perfect for practicing sports”, adding that “we want them to notice our land and that the high-level teams come here to prepare their season and compete in our cycling events”.
For Jiménez Rosales, “we want to put our region and our province on the international map”, and for this “we have had the football European Cup, the badminton World Cup and this test comes to complete that list of sporting events to promote our province and the autonomous community”.
The territorial delegate for Sports has stated that “in Almería the weather is perfect and we have a significant number of hours of sunshine throughout the year”. Without going any further, Jiménez Rosales points out that “this Christmas we have enjoyed almost spring weather in Almería”, in addition to the fact that “we have the largest desert in Europe or peaks of nearly two thousand meters of altitude almost at the foot of the beach”. All this gives Almería “privileged conditions for cycling and sports practice”.
Finally, the delegate thanked “there are entrepreneurs who bring sports events to our province like the one we are going to celebrate next February 5”. The Women Cycling Pro Costa de Almería, with nearly 140 kilometers of route, starting in Campohermoso (Níjar) and finishing in Cuevas del Almanzora, will debut on the international road cycling calendar and will feature the best professional cycling teams in Spain and also from Portugal, in addition to up to two other teams from the rest of the European continent.
With this Women Cycling Pro, Almería becomes one of the great stages of international cycling in Spain, since it will host two professional cycling events, both male and female. Without a doubt, this female ‘classic cyclist’ will be one of the great sporting events in Almería during 2022, also counting on the Teledeporte cameras.
