What awesome news just coming in from Luxor, Egypt! Our Eritrean rider Meron Teshome just won the Gold medal in Individual Time Trial at this year's African Continental Championships.
After three successful years of work with African cycling talent, BIKE AID was able to make another decisive step in its development for 2017 and enter into a strategic partnership with the Kenyan Riders.
During the last year's 2016 season, team BIKE AID was official testteam for the first time to test the new tubeless tyres from its partner Schwalbe. At the the end of the season everybody came to a positive conlusion.
Amanuel Mengis is the second rider from Eritrea in the roster of team BIKE AID, next to Meron Teshome. After his first season in Europe, the young and talented rider from the horn of Africa is extremely motivated to show his talent.
The German based Pro Cycling team can look back on its most successful season in 2016 and also make further important steps towards achieving its long-term goals.
He is not the average cyclist, he is rather a very special and unique character. The 31 year old Califronian Timothy Rugg convinced with his two stage wins at Tour of Rwanda but also with his personality. BIKE AID talked to the US - boy and here is what he said.
It was his first season in Europe, after Meron Teshome spent two years for MTN – Qhubeka feeder team. In 2017 he wants to continue his success from this season.
At the start the dream was to win the GC with Jean-Bosco Nsengimana but at the end it turned into a huge disappoinitment for all involved team-members at Tour of Rwanda 2016 as Nsengimana has been dogged by badluck.
We already told a lot the last days about the incredible and enthusiastic atmosphere during this edition of Tour du Rwanda. But what happened today at "the wall of Kigali" was again much more we could ever expect.
