I don’t think the UCI has a mechanism for allowing refugee/stateless persons entry. I’m aware of another rider with refugee status cycling for Syria as well. I’m not sure what the exact arrangement/rules are, but that’s what I’m aware of. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

heywoodu 13,499 Posted September 23, 2021 #34 Share Posted September 23, 2021 The 2025 world championships, as was expected (and hoped), have been awared to Kigali Sure, politically it's not exactly great that another (semi?)dictatorship gets it, but for the people in a cycling-crazy country it is absolutely fantastic and the atmosphere will no doubt be truly magical! Plus it could simply be a great race, which can be incredibly hard. Twelve times a 21km lap would be perfectly possible with over 5000 'altitude meters'.

Not like it's likely to change or be different though. They've been the huge favourite ever since it was clear that 2025 would go to Africa and only Rwanda and Morocco were candidates.
