Tour of the Bahamas

The Tour of the Bahamas is a road cycling race held in Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas.[1] The Tour is a competition over three stages. On the first stage there is an individual time trial, a race against the clock, followed by a circuit race, the next day. Finally, a road race is held, this stage is the only stage that leaves Nassau City.[2] Due to the Bahamas's warm climate, the race is used by many cyclists to kick off their racing seasons.[3]
