On October 30, 2024, Chinese rider CHEN Shiyu (陈诗瑜) made history by becoming only the second female rider to be selected for the full-time line-up of the Asia Talent Cup (ATC) and the first-ever Chinese female rider to be selected. By the time the 2025 season of ATC starts, it would have been 11 years since Thai rider Muklada Sarapuech made her debut in ATC, and 10 years since Chinese riders CHEN Yuanhang (陈远航) and CHEN Pengyuan (陈鹏远) started the last ATC season with Chinese riders in the full-time line-up. After Shiyu came back to her home in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, we had a quick chat with her about her career and expectations of ATC, here is her story.
