shokhead tapped the money issue, which is what I sort of mentioned in the very first thread. As Kenya and other Eastern African nations slowly develope and emerge from the third world, they may become more likely to engage more heavily in other sports, like cycling.
As a result, their specific endurance and cardio-vascular capabilities could easily place them in the top of the cycling categories ina relatively short amount of time, say within the next few decades, making them formidable opponents, which would really make the game more intersting. No longer just Armstrong, Ulrich, Voekler, Hamilton, etc, etc ,etc....
I think it would be kind of neat to see a Kenyan cycling team. Now, that would definitely help expand the popularity of the sport worldwide, even further. Just think of how many more companies will emerge with products. Oh, the choices of components... I can see it now.

Now, please excuse me, I need to go pump myself full of Prozac, Zoloft, Luvox, Ritalin, and whatever else I can con out of my doctor, to cure my mental disease.
