Monaco Hosts Vuelta Start, Cyclist Haven

Monaco will host the start of the Vuelta a España this Saturday, becoming the fourth country to host the first stage of the three major cycling tours, following Italy, France, and the Netherlands. The principality is a popular tax haven for cyclists, requiring residents to spend at least six months and a day per year in the territory.

Over 50 professional cyclists, including Pogacar, Roglic, Bernal, Quintana, Mohoric, and Trentin, reside in Monaco, attracted by its favorable tax conditions and mountainous terrain that surrounds the principality. slot-chickenroad.org
