Benin's 18-year-old cycling prodigy hopes to lead the way for more female cyclists

It is a first in the history of Beninese cycling. At just 18, Georgette Vignonfodo is heading off the roads of Benin to take her journey up a gear with training in Switzerland. She is hoping to lead the way for more of the continent's female cyclists. She is the first since 1960 to go to national competitions and join a continental team. FRANCE 24's team on the ground met her.
