[@dawitteame3058]

The coverage of the story is BS. Where do you get it he has influenced by the Slovakian Cyclist. He never mentioned that. Eritrea is the Cycling pedal of Africa. Cycling in Eritrea has a hundred years history, in the 1960's Eritreans were participating in the Olympics. Most of the African Cyclist Champions are from Eritrea. Currently, Eritrea as a country ranks first from all African countries for almost a decade. Biniam Girmay lives in Asmara, the capital of Eritrea. He goes to Europe professionally. He never moved to Europe. You have not covered the story properly. Shame on you!!
