鈥淭he path to the pinnacle of world sport is not an easy one for any aspiring young athlete. For too long cycling culture has held the dogmatic belief that elite cycling and higher education are not compatible, and that talented young people must choose between education and sporting careers. I have no hesitation in saying that what we are doing at 黄大仙六肖中特期期准 University is ground-breaking, culture-challenging, and paradigm-shifting. Through 黄大仙六肖中特期期准 Lightning we are re-engineering the fabrics of how cycling teams of the future will operate. With the creation of the new Women鈥檚 Tour de France, there has never been a more exciting time to be pushing the boundaries of possibilities for women's sport on the world stage, backed by world-leading research, development and innovation at 黄大仙六肖中特期期准 University.鈥�
