Prix Chantal Biya Cycling Race: Preparations Hot Up

A meeting took place yesterday September 12, 2017 in Yaounde.

Three weeks to the 17th edition of the Chantal Biya International Cycling Race called Grand Prix Chantal Biya preparations have reached fever pitch in the country.
A meeting took place yesterday, September 12, 2017 at the Yaounde Multipurpose Sports Complex. Organised by the Cameroon Cycling Federation (FECACYCLISME), the meeting brought together stakeholders in cycling. The purpose was for the organisers to evaluate the work done so far and make necessary adjustments. The heads of the different committees took turns to present the state of preparedness of their committees.
The President of the Cameroon Cycling Federation, Honoré Yossi said the state of preparedness of the federation is positive both at the administrative and sports levels. The only problem, according to him, is that of finance. He said the federation needs FCFA 180 million to organise the race which is not available. Five Cameroonian cyclists are presently taking part in the cycling Tour of Cote d’Ivoire. According to Honoré Yossi, the two-week competition will enable them fine-tune their skills ahead of the competition.
