I was just wondering about this. How come there are no riders in the
Tour de France who are from a non-European ethnic background?

Because there are none who are either good enough, or want to live in
Europe to get a contract.Cycle racing is only big in Europe,a little bit
in Aus., and a little in the US, everywhere else it is a very minor
sport.
More to the point, why are there no British riders in it? (I know, because
there are none good enough, and it is a small minority sport here!)
