Joël Kyaviro has already made history as the first Congolese rider to win a UCI race at this season’s Tour of Cameroon. His story, though, is about much more than results.
Journalist Bill Donahue followed Joël’s journey for Now Voyager magazine and Gary caught up with Bill and Joël to hear more about a story of talent, ambition, conflict, visas, money, opportunity and just how hard it can be simply to get to the start line.
