Biniam Girmay denied visa for World Championships (content.globalcyclingnetwork.com)

Biniam Girmay and four of his fellow Eritreans denied visas to the UK.

Edit: Unconfirmed as of yet. All other sources quote GCN. But if it's true, WTF...

Not surprising actually, visas are hard, Eritrea is basically African North Korea, and Brexit doesn't help. Hell, Powless missed Worlds last year after his visa came through 20 minutes late, and that was US and Australia
