The "Tour d'Azerbaidjan" race is planned to pass through the territory of 20 cities and regions. We will start from Baku first. Cyclists will also pass through the liberated territories, including Khankendi. Our finish line in the last stage will be in Shusha".
It should be noted that in the "Tour d'Azerbaidjan", which is planned to be held in 2026, the first stage will be Baku-Sumgayit, the second stage will be Baku-Shamakhi-Ismayilli, the third stage will be Gabala-Oguz-Sheki-Oguz-Gabala, the fourth stage will be Gabala-Agdash-Mingachevir-Ganja, and the fifth stage will be Ganja-Tartar-Khankendi-Shusha route.
