Story Text

El ciclismo es muy popular en Eritrea y forma parte integral de su cultura e identidad. Hace muchos años, Italia ejercía control sobre el país, y el ciclismo era una disciplina considerada suya. Sin embargo, con el tiempo, los ciclistas eritreos mejoraron notablemente, y la gente empezó a reconocer que los atletas locales eran igualmente valiosos. La popularidad del ciclismo creció tanto que se fundaron clubes y se organizaron carreras en todo el país. Los impresionantes paisajes y la gran altitud de Eritrea han contribuido a que sus ciclistas se destaquen y se encuentren entre los mejores del mundo. Un ejemplo de ello es Biniam, quien en 2024 se convirtió en el primer africano en ganar un premio especial en el Tour de Francia. Algunas personas en Internet afirman que los ciclistas eritreos tienen una ventaja debido a su entrenamiento en altitudes elevadas, lo que les permite mejorar su rendimiento.
