MANILA, Philippines– A field packed with 10 continental teams, five clubs based in eight different countries and one national squad make the fifth edition of the Le Tour de Filipinas the most formidable ever as the Philippines’ only international race hits the road from April 21 to 24.

Supported principally by Smart, NLEx, SCTEx, TPLEx, BCDA, Petron and Victory Liner, the Tour is an advocacy of PhilCycling chair Bert Lina.
