Black pro riders?
No intention to be racist here, though it is a racist question. Are there
any black riders in the pro peloton today? It seems to me that even the African teams have riders of Caucasian descent exclusively. (I'm not going to ask why there aren't any/more, because I don't want the RBR trolls' answer to that.) Also, who is this on the right? http://ume.sakura.ne.jp/~kus/galleria/1993/foto/41.jpg -Sonarrat. |

Can't think of any myself, there have been a few of note in the US, but it's possibly just a situation waiting for the "Tiger Woods of Cycling" to arrive. I doubt anyone intellect would bar the next Nelson Vails. |

No man, you're not being racist. Neither are these guys: http://www.local10.com/news/3030870/detail.html "Steven L. Sheffield" wrote in message ...

Wouldn't it be great if some of the East Africans that regularly dominate all big distance footraces got some bikes?

His name suggests he or his parents are from the Reunions, where nearly everyone is of mixed parentage! The racial makeup there is white, black, brown, indian, asian. |

It's a racist question because it distinguishes between white and black people. Doesn't mean it's racially offensive (though it could spur offensive comments), but it is racist. Wouldn't it be great if some of the East Africans that regularly dominate all big distance footraces got some bikes? That's more or less what I was thinking... with as many track stars as Africa has. I would call it something of a crime that the only African Div. II team, Barloworld, should consist mostly of Italians... -Sonarrat. |

Surely Major Taylor qualifies, even if it was a long time ago. How about them Chinese? With about a billion bikes in China, surely they must have a few good riders who could win the TdF (TIOOYK). What's up with that?
