In 1909, the Bulgarian Cycling Union organized the first cycling Tour of Vitosha, which entered the world history of this sport as one of the oldest and best quality races.
In 1924, the first Tour of Bulgaria took place. It was among the oldest and most prestigious races in the world and was preceded only by the Tour De France (which started in 1903), the Tour of Belgium (1908) and the Giro d’Italia (1909).
