Meet the Migration Gravel Racers: Ian Boswell

Meet Ian, the former World-Tour racer turned alternative-surface rider taking part in #mgr2021
The fact that the @migrationgravelrace has attracted the attention of riders like Ian, along with the support of @wahoofitnessofficial is testament to the ambition of @teamamani in what they hope to achieve with the race.As Ian says, the pathway for African riders to make it as a cyclist can often be harder, but hopefully with initiatives like Amani we can start breaking down some of the barriers. Ian cannot wait to line up and share his experience and knowledge with the riders come June, as well as learning a few things along the way as he is still getting familiar with in his new, less-tarmaced cycling career!
