MTN-Qhubeka Cyling Team

This coming weekend, Africa based MTN-Qhubeka Cycling Team will be the first African team to participate in the Tour de France. It is been a long time coming!  Nine cyclists, two Eritreans among them: Daniel Teklehaimanot and Merahwie Kudus, will represent the African continent. Merhawie Kudus will be the youngest rider. Another Eritrean rider, Natnael Berhane,  is one of the reservist for the team. History in the making for Africa in general and Eritrea in particular!

Good Luck for the team.
