Pro Preview: Ashleigh Moolman Pasio on Rwanda's World Cycling Champs

Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio is one of the most experienced riders in the women's pro peloton and, in 2025, celebrates her 15th appearance at the UCI World Cycling Championships in Kigali, Rwanda. This year the 39-year-old South African lines up as one of the favourites on a course that suits her strengths. But she will be up against the best in the world including powerful French and Dutch outfits led by Tour de France winner Pauline Ferrand-Prevot, Demi Vollering and Anna van der Breggen and Mauritian rising star Kim le Court-Pienaar. Mike sits down with Ashleigh in her hotel room in Kigali to talk about her own preparation, the challenge of racing at altitude, the African factor and why this year's champs could deliver some big surprises in the elite road races.
