One way to recruit for a national race
Filipinos only, open qualification rounds to get onto regional teams, regional teams compete in the national race for a nice prize. Not a bad way to boost cycling and do a talent search in a large, fragmented, spread out nation. (Sounds like in practice, pre-existing clubs and pro teams take the top slots in most areas. But still, interesting process.) Race site here. (And some great territory they are riding, mountains, coast, lava, tropical forests, cities, near fantastic diving. See pix from the qualifying rounds.) Bit sad that there's no international division, but I see the worth of doing it as they're doing it.
