Baku, April 5 (AZERTAC). The first Heydar Aliyev Anniversary Tour will take place from 9 to 13 May 2012 in Azerbaijan. The five-day stage race is the first professional cycling event in Azerbaijan. The race will start with a team time trial on the streets of Baku and return after five days' racing to conclude with a stage in the area around the city.

After the team time trial in Baku, the peloton will head into the Caucasus Hills for the second stage. From there the riders will ride through a picturesque landscape during stages that finish in Ismayilli and Gabala. From the race’s northernmost point in Sheki, the peloton will then head back to Baku for the final stage on a hilly circuit passing the city’s most beautiful sights.
