Cycling is not really popular among Africans and Arabs in France. And I don't believe in Eritrea's potential (or Rwanda). These countries seem to produce only pure climbers that underperform in time trials, like Quintana, which mean they won't be able to win a Tour.
However, the best potential for a black cyclist to emerge are the French Caribbeans IMO, particularly Guadeloupe. Cycling is pretty popular over there, they race and have a local Tour. France had black Caribbean cyclists in the past. A lot of speed cyclists at the Olympics are French Caribbeans.
Man, if you knew the fukkery that is Guadeloupean cycling. Dudes popping with higher hematocrit than '96 Riis. Literally. :russ:

A great tour this year.

Wout Van Aert is a beast.
Jonas Vingegaard got that early yellow and held it because he had a better team around him.
I still think Tadej Pogacar is the man to beat going forward.
Primoz Roglic might need to find another team. Vingegawd has the juice now.

Can someone explain to me why people think Quinn Simmons got next as an American rider? First off, he looks like a douchebag and there's just something about him that I don't like. And secondly, he can't climb for shyt.

Quinn Simmons

A) He's 21 and has a good junior palmares.

B) He's MAGA

C) He's at Trek

D) He's MAGA

E) He's won 2 KOTM jerseys at 2 good 1 week tour races this season so it would suggest he's trending up.

F) They need a new star since TJ retired

G) He's MAGA

So they got the Colombian.

But no way he’s the only one.

When are they gonna rat out these white riders?

:damn: Nairo. No wonder his form looked off in the mountains. :mjgrin:

I thought this was about Superman Lopez


He's back racing now
