Ceratizit-WNT recruit the first ever World Tour rider from Afghanistan
Cycling
For those who follow the women's cycling the name Fariba Hashimi won't be unfamiliar. The younger of two sisters from Afghanistan has shown some serious potential this year and her step up to World Tour with Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling is very well deserved.
The 21-year-old Fariba Hashim took off to a breakthrough 2024 season with two top-5 stage finishes at the Giro Mediterraneo in Rosa (2.2) in April. She then went off the radar for a moment to return even stronger in August with 8th overall at the Tour de l'Avenir (2.2U), followed by her big stage triumph in the mountains of the Tour Feminin l'Ardeche (2.1).
For next season, she'll get the golden opportunity to show her worth racing with the very internationally-oriented Ceratizit-WNT. Hashimi's best quality lies with the mountains and so we can only look forward to what she can do when the roads go up.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
