“Cycling in Pangasinan is undoubtedly in decline. Something is clearly wrong.” – Biking Jess Garcia

Pangasinan proudly holds the distinction of producing 21 national cycling tour champions, solidifying its reputation as the ‘Home of Philippine Cycling Champions.’ Trailing behind are the National Capital Region (NCR) with 6 champions and Cebu with 3, underscoring Pangasinan’s unparalleled legacy in Philippine cycling.

However, cycling legend Biking Jess Garcia has expressed concern over the recent decline in Pangasinan’s dominance on the national stage, raising questions about the future of the region’s cycling scene, though he did not elaborate further.
