A race like no other – the Tour of Friendship R1

One of the highlights of our year is a bike stage race in Thailand, the Tour of Friendship R1. Having lived in Thailand for four plus years in the 1990s, Alan Grant has a special affinity for the country and its mai pen rai attitude. The Tour of Friendship somehow embraces that laid-back vibe while still managing to put on what many consider to be the best amateur stage race in Asia.
