The Tour of Luzon comes as a complete package of a multi-stage race when the fabled summer sports spectacle returns on 24 April with the “Great Revival” edition.

“Eight stages of technical riding among the cyclists and their respective teams,” said Arrey Perez, chief regulatory officer of the Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation, presenter and title sponsor of the race organized by DuckWorld PH with Cignal TV as Official Media Partner.

“From start to finish, from Stage 1 to the queen final Stage 8 in Camp John Hay, it will not only be a race about who’s the strongest, but also about who’s the smartest,” said DuckWorld PH president Patrick “Pató” Gregorio about the race, powered by the MVP Group’s Meralco, Metro Pacific Investment Corporation, Maynilad, Smart, PLDT, Landco Pacific Corporation and mWELL and Megaworld.
