Vuelta de Chile 2011 (27/1 - 6/2) oh yes it's back!!

[Ryo Hazuki]

Two days ago started with an absence of 4 years the legendary Vuelta de Chile. Traditonally one of the biggest races in america. this race should not be mixed up by the vuelta lider de chile a different stage race with just as much exposure

until 2004 big european teams would come here for the gigantic prize money, teams such as kelme and festina but also the top of the latin american teams like orbitel and the richest team of latin america, chilean team lider.

now chilean cycling is back and bigger and wealthier than ever. this years vuelta de chile has a budget of no less than 2 million euros!!

One word for you: Pegasus

 

[The Hitch]

Why does this race use the preposition "de" rather than "a" like most other hispanic races?

 

[DAOTEC]

Result Vuelta Chíle stage 5

Why does this race use the preposition "de" rather than "a" like most other hispanic races?

It's "neither" Hitch simply "Vuelta Chile" sometimes Ciclista is added... but "de" it is often used cause the country name is República de Chile it is the same with "por" and "un" Chile > comprende mis amigo ...

Look at yesterday stage headlines across the Latin press >>
