All- African ..all-anywhere teams are feel good but wasted efforts that only end up serving as fodder for the nay sayers. Althetes from africa need the open doors to walk thru, but there is much more to cyclinging than opportunity. Road racing is a European sport..all else is a model of Europe..and has become hard nosed business. Q36.5 is doing it properly, but perhaps the question isn’t whether Africans can thrive in the euro peleton, but whether it’s misplaced effort striving to join a scene that increasingly looks simply money machine with athletes as smurfs and pawns
