“We have taken measures to ensure security in all the 10 laps of the tour.”

The bright weather that welcomed the athletes was made more radiant by CAMTEL with its flagship product Blue.

As a major sponsor of the Cameroon international Cycling Tour, the incumbent telecommunications once again has kept to its promise of supporting the event as it has always done in the previous editions.

“Camtel is alway present when called in different events, we are here thanks to the services of Camtel, we are very satisfied with Camtel. It’s important to work with Cameroonian operators, Camtel is one of the best,” Governor Jean Abate Edi’i said.

CAMTEL made its mark at the presentation ceremony by offering several prizes from gadgets to communication credit to population that turned out to witness the presentation ceremony.

That is just the starting point for CAMTEL, more is still to come in the course of the race.

The General Manager of CAMTEL, Judith Yah Sunday epse ACHIDI, has deployed an arsenal to grace the tour from start to finish. As a strategic partner of the Cameroon Cycling Federation, CAMTEL will be offering prizes at every stage of the tour to the cyclists and also gifts the population that will be turning up to cheer on.

As tradition demands for CAMTEL, the incumbent telecommunications operator will be giving out the blue jersey to the best Cameroonian cyclist at the end of each lap, followed by other prizes in cash and gifts.

To crown it all on the final day, the General Manager of CAMTEL has made available a huge envelope for the best Cameroonian cyclist on the general classification which will be handed out after the cyclists cross the final finish line at the Club CAMTEL in Yaounde.
