Canadian Cyclist magazine has reported that former Tour de France Russian cyclist Andre Tchmil is going to help the Ukranians in the fight against Russia.
“In a video posted on Facebook, an emotional Museeuw spoke about the phone call. “I just looked up the silence,” he said. “After the two beautiful races this past weekend, I received a call from Andrei Tchmil, the man with whom I used to fight many duels in races. He told me we used to fight a lot of wars on the bike, but now I’m in the middle of a war.””
He lives 60 miles from the fighting. He sent his family to Romania while he goes off to war. Amazing bravery.
We sure hope he comes back in good shape.
