And unless I've misunderstood, this is a project which focuses on women's racing.

Wow.

That's a big that is a big, big ambition and a very short time frame to achieve that, isn't it?

Because, yeah, you've got a lot you've got to have a lot of work to do to get there, right?

I remember a few years ago having a long conversation and developing quite a close relationship at one point with Nick Tlamini, the rider from Cape Town, and it blew my mind when he told me the hurdles that he'd had to overcome and his background, et cetera, to make it to the Tour de France, you know?

Who is some of your riders, your star riders, and where do they come from in terms of, you know, if you can give us a potted history about that?

Earlier on this year, Zylon, I went to, just as a journalist, to do some writing at the Tour du Bénin in West Africa, so Benin.

And I encountered firsthand, I think, for the first time in my life, it became abundantly clear to me just how high and tall the hurdles are.

And especially for women, because this was a stage race for the men, and the women's race was just one day of racing, a city center criterium at the end of it, sort of tacked on.

And talking to some of the women athletes there, I realized they have very, very extremely limited options for racing in the African continent themselves.

There is barely a race program to speak of.

Is that correct?

And does that naturally mean that you just have to go to Europe?

Well, listen, Zylon, it's been fascinating.

More power to your arm.

I hope it all goes well.

I hope the two riders who come to the Tour de France Femme enjoy their trip and learn.

And yeah, it's what a project.

Good luck.

And maybe we'll see you.
