Criterium International 2011 Corsica

Since 2010 the Criterium International is held in the Island of Beauty in South of France, the first time a significant professional race had been held in Corsica since 1982.

The two-day race was switched from Charleville-Mezieres (France) to Porto Vecchio in March this year. Put it simply, moving from Ardennes region to sunny mediterranean sky is a great idea!

2011 edition will be staged from March 26-27, with one mountain stage, one flatter stage and one short-distance time-trial.
The Criterium International race is organized by A.S.O. which is the company that organize the so famous Tour de France.
There is speculation that the Tour de France will start in Corsica in 2013.
