Yeah, to the surprise of absolutely nobody....sadly. It is always the same with big events in the UK. Every. Single. Time.

 

In 2025, Rwanda really should deny all British riders entry. Sucks for the riders, but that's too bad, the Brits are keeping a load of Africans out of big events time and time again. Mind you, these are not 'potential refugees' (whatever that would be), but most are well-established pro riders, especially Girmay or Kudus.

 

And as always, UCI does nothing about it. They are as incompetent as one can be in these cases, which of course is already shown by the mere fact the UK got this event in the first place (meaning everybody knew people like the Eritreans were fucked).

To be fair, the secretary-general of the Eritrean Cycling Federation, Misghina Haile, told BBC Tigrinya that no Eritrean cyclist had been denied a visa so quite possible that GCN is trying to make a story out of nothing.

That would be a major first, since it is absolutely far from the first time African/Eritrean athletes have been denied entry to the UK for whichever sports event...

 

Either denied or incredibly delayed.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

There were no denied visas for athletes going to commonwealth games last year and that has a pretty heavy contingent of African athletes. 

 

That being said, can quite easily believe that there have been delays - the UK Home Office is not known as a model of operational efficiency.

Exactly. It is a rule of British life that we exist to make life easy for bureaucrats, not the other way around.

Any links for streaming?? (Preferably all events)

 

Have a VPN if it helps :yes

UCI YouTube Channel has a lot of streams. You just need to set your VPN to a country that has access to them.
