It's a good initiative taken by Vida which needs to be applauded because I can see a lot of talents here. All these potential girls need is to be guided and they will become future champions. I will sponsor and tour the country with them in November this year to help develop them' he said.

The Director of Vida cycling program, Vida Vivie also articulated her desire to ignite the cycling passion of female cyclist in Ghana by organizing events for them.
