Time for something a bit controversial. Reading this article (and the comments) about the lack of black-skinned cyclists I was reminded that I've often observed the same thing in climbing. http://inrng.com/?p=2304 Given that climbing favours the naturally powerful and athletic, all things being equal shouldn't we expect to see by this stage in the sport's evolution people of black African descent with a strong presence at the high-end? Anyone care to comment on what's going on?
