Dear participants, This year we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the – an event that gathered thousands of people from three Baltic countries to join hands to show their unity and draw global attention to their desire for independence! I sincerely am happy that this event had a worldwide resonance and that it has not been forgotten. This event is a clear example that people still remember it and value the message it once sent! I see the Baltic Chain Tour as a wonderful occasion to remind us all of what we once firmly stood for and to show that we still believe in the idea of the Baltic Unity. Furthermore, I am glad that this year the route will lead through Valmiera – the regional centre of culture, education, entrepreneurship and sports. Many famous sportsmen and sportswomen have started their professional career here: a worldwide known race walker and the Olympic vice Champion Jānis Daliņš, the Olympic silver medallist in bobsleigh Oskars Melbārdis and, of course, the one and only two time Olympic Champion in BMX Māris Štrombergs just to name a few. Hence with great confidence I can say that cycling and sports in general is something well known and will be warmly received here in Valmiera! May success, good spirit and endurance guide everyone through this tour! I look forward to seeing you all in Valmiera! Mayor of Valmiera Mr Inesis Boķis 32 BALTIC CHAIN STAGE 3, August 22, VALMIERA – PÄRNU TOUR
