World Keiren body – Derbywheel, has redeemed its pledge by securing two tickets for two National riders, Solomon Tagoe of Gutten Cycling Club and Youth sensation Farrakhan Shaaban Mohammed, to participate in the induction of the Derbywheel project in the United Kingdom.
It would be recalled that Solomon Tagoe emerged as the winner of the National Tour of Ghana held at Ablekuma, Olebu, in February 2023.
His victory precipitated the promise of Derbywheel to secure him the air ticket to the UK for the first time in his cycling journey.
In the youth category, Farrakhan Shaaban Mohammed of River Park Eastern Region also emerged as the winner and fell into the promise zone of Derbywheel.
The World Keiren body has lived up to its word and already secured flight tickets for the two cyclists who are billed to depart the country this week.
Derbywheel has injected hope into some Ghanaian riders in this instance, and this gesture goes a long way to show that its presence in the cycling sport cannot be overemphasised so far as the welfare of African Cyclists’ is concerned.
The induction of Derbywheel will manifest in the city of Manchester on the 26th to 28th of January, 2024.
Head Coach and Secretary General of the Ghana Cycling Federation, Shaaban Mohammed, is slated to join the duo.
