TEHRAN, Nov 14 (NIPNA) – Tabriz Petrochemical Company (TPC)’s cycling team has made a dominant return to Iran’s competitive scene after ten years of absence, winning the national road league, the national track league and securing second place in the mountain-bike league, the company said on Saturday.


According to the team’s public relations office, young riders from the Tabriz side delivered an exceptional performance in the 2024 premier league season, earning the highest cumulative points in the road and track categories for the 2025 youth division and reclaiming the club’s reputation in Iranian cycling.

The results mark a major comeback for one of Iran’s most decorated teams. TPC, historically one of Asia’s top cycling squads, previously won continental titles and led Asian Tours during the 2007–2010 seasons.

Club officials said the team’s revival follows renewed institutional backing, including the formation of the Tabriz Petrochemical cultural and sports council in late 2024 under managing director Dr. Mirashrafi. Re-establishing the cycling team was among the council’s first decisions, aimed at supporting local youth talent and restoring the club’s competitive standing.

The latest victories, the company added, reflect both the depth of emerging athletes in East Azerbaijan province and the club’s long-term strategy to rebuild its elite programme.
