  • 68 Международна Колоездачна Обиколка На България 68 International Cycling Tour of Bulgaria
    68 МЕЖДУНАРОДНА КОЛОЕЗДАЧНА ОБИКОЛКА НА БЪЛГАРИЯ 68 INTERNATIONAL CYCLING TOUR OF BULGARIA 30.06.2021 – 05.07.2021 Генерален спонсор General Sponsor ПРИВЕТСТВИЕ НА ПРЕЗИДЕНТА НА РЕПУБЛИКА БЪЛГАРИЯ Г-Н РУМЕН РАДЕВ По случай 68-та Международна колоездачна обиколка на България. 30.06-05.07.2021 г. Уважаеми състезатели, Уважаеми организатори, Колоезденето е уникален спорт, в който за да успееш се изискват невероятни физически способности, непреклонна воля и нестихващ стремеж за победа не само над противника, но и над самия себе си! Колоездачната обиколка на България е едно от най- старите спортни състезания на две колела в света и почти век събира на едно място както професионалисти, така и любители на колоезденето от редица държави. Освен демонстрация на високо спортно майсторство, надпреварата е форум на солидарност, приятелство и работа в екип. Форум, на който чрез спорт и конкуренция, се градят мостове на сътрудничество, културен обмен и социална отговорност. Обиколката е чудесна възможност за нашите гости от чужбина да опознаят красотата на България. Велосипедният спорт е феномен, който винаги е бил мощен фактор за социално и личностно развитие на съвременното общество, за здраве, туризъм и активен отдих. Повече от век велосипедите ни осигуряват неразделната връзка между спорт, транспорт и начин на живот. Решимостта на Европа за ускорено развитие на зелена икономика придава още по-голяма социална значимост на колоезденето Днес все повече деца остават пред малкия екран, от където предпочитат да гледат, вместо да практикуват спорт. Надявам се, че колоездачната обиколка на България ще катализира отново желанието на младите хора за повече игри, да прекарват повече време сред природата и да карат колело с приятели! Бих искал да пожелая на състезателите и организаторите крепко здраве, лично и семейно щастие, и не на последно място високи спортни успехи! На добър час, в очакване на 100 годишния юбилей от Колоездачната обиколка на България! WELCOME OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA Mr.
