OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

---

 The Le Tour de Filipinas (LTdF) organizing committee announces that the staging of the

country’s first and longest-running UCI-sanctioned road race—listed in the 2026 UCI Asia Tour

calendar—will be postponed to a later date in 2026 due to funding constraints. While we

received strong support and commitments from our partner LGUs, we believe it is in the best

interest of the event and its participants to ensure that LTdF upholds the international standards it

is known for.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who expressed interest in supporting the supposed

continuation of this historic race—especially the Provincial Government of Albay and Sorsogon,

and the City Government of Legazpi City, Sorsogon City, and Naga City for their unwavering

trust in LTdF. We also wish to acknowledge the overwhelming enthusiasm from international

cycling teams and riders, whose excitement to return to Philippine roads reaffirms LTdF’s global

appeal and importance in the region.

Despite this postponement, the organizer is inspired by the renewed energy surrounding cycling

in the Philippines—from the rebirth of local events, to the growing homecourt opportunities for

our Filipino pro riders, to the development of grassroots programs that shape the future of our

beloved sport.

We remain committed to pushing Philippine cycling forward and look forward to announcing the

new date for LTdF soon.

Maraming salamat, and see you on the road in 2026.
