The Technical Director of the Sierra Leone National Cycling Association, Percy Nicol, who also doubles as the leader of delegation to DR Congo has said that the experience during the DR Congo tour was great. He made this statement following the delegation’s return from the second edition of the International tour of DR Congo. He also mentioned that apart from the experience, he was very pleased with the performance of the four Cyclists who competed in the tour, especially the new comer in the team; Mohamed Barrie who finished the tour. According Nicol, Mohamed Barrie is the second new comer in the National team to compete in his first international competition and was able to finish; the first to set such record, he said, is Sadiu Mansaray. Nicol stated that in the 10 days tour, 70% was hill and 30% on a flat ground which made the tour more difficult. He however stated that the 79 cyclists competed in the tour comprised 16 countries with the host, DR Congo having 3 teams. The National Cycling President, Winston DC Crowther even though he did not make the trip to DR Congo, thanked his fellow President of DR Congo, Monsieur Sylvester Motayo Mbela for giving them opportunity to compete in the tour. He expressed hope that such relationship will grow from strengthen to strengthen. The countries that competed are: France, Burkina Faso, Congo, Madagascar, Rwanda, Cote d’Ivoire, Burundi, Tanzania, Belgium, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Togo, Benin and Central Africa.
