It has been quite a work behind the scenes to get them to start here, and even under their country's flag, but it did work. If I'm not mistaken they train somewhere in Europe nowadays, I feel like it's Germany but I'm not sure. It's working though!

I believe she and her sister have been training at the UCI WCC for the last few months. Great ride for her today.

Flat tyre for Tarling.

That sir, is a city in  (and a very important city in ancient Phoenicia)

 

I believe you mean "tire."

I believe Australians also use the word "tyre". And even more shocking "tyres"

I was in fact talking about the place where the Carthaginian empire has it's roots after the princess/queen found her way out with a trick. Tarling wants to visit it, but it's sadly flat!

And especially Yulduz is really doing good, this year's she's been finishing midway in the pack in quite strong and good races, whereas usually athletes from her background would finish far, far, far ahead of the pack. If she can keep this progress up, and of course that is always an 'if', I genuinely believe she'll be capable of slowly moving towards things like top-30 results in (mostly flat, for now) World Tour races. Doing that even once would be amazing.
