The 24th Tour of Magnificent Qinghai International Road Cycling Race 2025 commenced with great enthusiasm from July 6 to July 13. This prestigious event featured the participation of 22 elite cycling teams and a total of 154 cyclists hailing from 11 different countries, all competing over a challenging distance of 1,400 kilometers across the plateau at an average altitude over 3,000 meters.

The participating cycling teams consist of one UCI World Tour Team, eight UCI Pro Teams, and thirteen UCI Continental Teams. There are four distinct “Battle Robes of Honor,” each represented by a different color. The “yellow jersey” indicates the cyclist with the highest overall ranking; the “green jersey” is awarded to the cyclist with the most sprint points; the “polka dot jersey” is given to the cyclist who earns the most mountain stage points; and the “blue jersey” honours the best Asian cyclist. Only cyclists who qualify as both “Asian cyclists” and members of an “Asian cycling team” are eligible to compete for this prestigious blue jersey.

As the 2. Pro event, the highest-level event in the UCI Asia Tour, the Race is renowned for its challenging conditions due to high altitude and complex terrain. It not only features intense competition but also showcases breathtaking landscapes throughout Qinghai Province. It combines elements of speed and passion with a grand celebration that integrates sportsmanship and natural beauty. Let us anticipate the exhilarating speed and fervor of cyclists as they navigate through snow-capped mountains, serene lakes, vibrant flower fields, and expansive grasslands!
