Biniam Girmay reportedly refused UK visa, as Eritrean star pulls out of Glasgow world championships citing injury Reports suggest that the 23-year-old and three teammates have been denied visas by the Home Office cycling
, Girmay, Natnael Tesfatsion, Merhawi Kudus, and Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier were refused visas, and are currently re-applying for entry to the UK with less than four days to go until the peloton leaves Edinburgh on Sunday morning.
It is currently unclear on which grounds the visa applications for the four other riders were denied. road.cc has contacted the Home Office for information regarding the rejected applications. The squad then posted a rather more official account of Girmay’s withdrawal, which they say is due to contusions and pain in his hip, sustained during Saturday’s spill in the Basque Country.
“My priority is now to recover from this crash and then the preparation for the last part of the season, with nice goals in one day races such as the Grand Prix de Plouay and Canadian classics.”
