\u201cFor 2026, I hope I am going to have good races and good times with the team. From now on, I want better results than before. I am going to race with bigger teams, but I hope I can still make results. Thank you so much Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto for giving me this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Best picks for you<\/p>\n
Kahsay Kiros was represented in this deal by Alex Carera, the agent of her hero Tadej Poga\u010dar and Biniam Girmay.<\/p>\n
“I am very proud that Tsige becomes a cycling professional like me,” said Girmay. “Our path into professional cycling is very similar as when I arrived in Europe from Eritrea, I also rode for the World Cycling Centre team and lived in Aigle [Switzerland – HQ of the UCI]. I truly wish her the very best for next year, and for her career.”<\/p>\n
Her progress is mirroring that of Girmay very closely, with both joining the WCC at 18 and both winning the African Continental Championship Junior Road Race the same year. Kahsay Kiros is in fact a year ahead now, in that it took Girmay two years with the WCC to secure his first pro team deal.<\/p>\n
Kahsay Kiro became the Ethiopian Women’s Junior Champion in June and was racing and training in Brittany over the summer with the WCC. She raced the Tour de l’Avenir<\/a> in August, an event which highlights the best junior talent.<\/p>\n As she was younger than any other competitor, quite simply the aim was for her to finish some stages and finish the race. The rider herself had other ideas and went on to be top 30 in every stage after the prologue, won the Most Combative prize on Stage 3, finished 22nd in the overall GC and was the only one of the eight 18-year-old competitors to finish within the top 40 on the General Classification.<\/p>\n We next saw her at the UCI Road World Championships<\/a> in Rwanda in late September in the Women\u2019s Junior Road Race. Commentator Hannah Walker talked excitedly about her as she went on the attack from the start, blowing the peloton apart on the first big climb and finishing seventh overall from among the 77 riders.<\/p>\n \n Tsige Kahsay Kiro in the yellow shouldered jersey of Ethiopia tucked up near the front of the field at the Junior Women’s road race at the 2025 Road World Championships (Image credit: Getty Images)<\/p>\n UCI President David Lappartient was also quick to congratulate Kahsay Kiros after the finish line, animatedly describing how the performance of the recently discovered rider was a huge moment for the Africa 2025 programme<\/a>.<\/p>\n Don’t miss these<\/p>\n![\"KIGALI,](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/M9tifhweUsmi6Vb3TYSG7Z.jpg\")
