The Hong Kong Tourism Board, in conjunction with cycling's world governing body, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), is launching a major cycling event later this year, according to a report by the Radio Television Hong Kong.

The first-ever Hong Kong Cyclothon, set for Oct. 10 and 11, invites professional cyclists from around the world to take part in races covering different parts of Hong Kong, the report said.

The highlight of the event is the 35-kilometer Challenge which will see the Tsing Ma Bridge opened for the first time for competitive road racing.

The Cyclothon's General Manager Mason Hung said that a lot of work was done to meet the UCI's requirements for staging an international race.
