After the success of the 2010 Critérium International abd the first edition of the triptych of the road on the island Corsica, ASO today announced that the race composed of 3 stages in 2 days will more durably stay on Corsica.
The south of Corsica and the region around Porto-Vecchio will receive the riders who participate in the Critérium International until 2013. And what's next?
Corsica and its inhabitants found back (after the disappearance of the Tour of Corsica in the 80s) the professional riders at the occasion of the first edition of the Critérium International around Porto-Vecchio (to see the photos of the 2010 Critérium International, click on the following links: first stage, second stage and third stage and the articles about this race in the Critérium International section) while the race was held in the Ardennes around Charleville Mézière the 9 previous years.
It was a very big popular success and Christian Prudhomme, director of the race, summarised it with the following words: we have found here some roads which seem to be made for cycling. While everyone thought of the Grand Départ of the 2013 Tour de France which is announced to take place on Corsica, the people who assisted to this very first edition on Corsica hoped for more. The signature, with Georges Mela, Mayor of Porto-Vecchio, of a contract for 3 years thus realises this dream with the Critérium International coming back to these roads in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Information importante, qui concerne d'abord Paris-Nice 2011, mais qui pourrait avoir des effets pour le Tour de France 2013 : Nuits-Saint-Georges ( berceau des meilleurs vins du monde !!! ), accueillera l'arrivée de la deuxième étape de Paris-Nice 2011 en provenance de Cosne-sur-Loire.
Un essai (gagnant ?) pour la ville de Didier Retière ( un des 3 sélectionneurs du XV de France ) pour la Grande Boucle 2013 ?
Roro 21 : te voila fixé !
