Xylon Van Eyck - Media Expert Championing Diversity

 

Cycling Through the Lens of a Media Mogul Championing Diversity.

In a revealing and intimate conversation on the "Ride to Success" podcast, Xylon van Eyck shares his journey from a passionate cyclist in a segregated South African community to a professional figure in cycling media, overcoming significant health challenges along the way. Van Eyck's story is not just about personal triumph; it's a narrative that touches on broader issues within the cycling world, including the need for diversity and inclusivity, the transformative power of overcoming adversity, and the role of media in shaping the future of the sport.

"Somewhere in Africa is the next men's and women's Tour de France winner. They are waiting to be discovered. Imagine an Ethiopian, Rwandan, Moroccan, or South African somewhere in a village coming from almost nothing to win the Tour de France. What a story that would be for the sport."
