Sidi Ali Unlocks Sports Team: Some of the top road racers of the circuit will be in action when the Pune Grand Tour 2026 is flagged off in Pune on Monday. India stands on the threshold of a historic moment as the event marks the country’s first-ever Continental multi-stage Road Race for men and is classified as a Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) 2.2 international competition.

With its inclusion under the UCI framework, the Pune Grand Tour 2026 marks India’s official entry into the global professional cycling calendar.

For Indian cyclists, the Pune Grand Tour represents a rare opportunity to compete against top international teams on home soil. Exposure to elite race dynamics, professional team tactics, and UCI-level competition is expected to play a critical role in bridging the gap between domestic racing and the global circuit.
