The majority of cyclists in the Tour de France this year come from a region of northern France and southern Belgium that is smaller than Texas. That region has less than 1% of the world's population, but produces the majority of pro cyclists. A clue as to why: that region will offer offer 100 races between March and September for pro cyclists at every level. This year in Texas, the number of races focused on pro cyclists: zero.
Yet, even in southern Belgium, less than 1% of male cyclists in the age twenty to age thirty group make a living racing bikes. Even with the best equipment, the best coaches, and the most opportunities to race, 99% of cyclists of any ethnic background lack what it takes to succeed at a pro level.
It is GOOFY for anyone to allege that white anglo males have some natural "talent" for pro cycling. Of the twenty million people who live in Texas, two or three million adults ride bikes on a regular basis.
Yet, this year, not ONE Texan will make a living racing bikes. Nor do I expect the Tour de France to be represented by a single rider from about forty-five other states. About 99.9% of the members of EVERY ethnic group fall beneath the physical standard necessary to enter, and finish the Tour de France.
