I saw that when it aired on cable a few months ago, Travel Channel maybe? I thought he gave it quite a good effort, some serious training and he'd be a respectable cyclist. I've always thought that more African-Americans should take up cycle racing, they would sure be great competitors. I never missed a chance to see Nelson Vails when he came to the track in Colorado Springs, he was the true test of the strength of a well made bike, he was so powerful!
