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" planned for 2026, the first stage will be Baku-Sumgayit, the second stage Baku-Shamakhi-Ismayilli, the third stage Gabala-Oguz-Shaki-Oguz-Gabala, the fourth stage Gabala-Agdash-Mingachevir-Ganja, and the fifth stage will be Ganja-Tartar-Khankendi-Shusha route.
