Africa Rising - Kimberly Coats

It is estimated that there are 980 million black Africans living on the continent and yet only 4 of its men currently ride for UCI World Tour teams. Following Eritrean Biniam Girmay's historic trio of stage wins at this year's Tour de France, Gary chats to Kimberly Coats, CEO of Team Africa Rising, about the work of the non-profit and the challenges facing riders who want to compete at the highest level.
