Whats stopping Africans from winning Tour de France?
Cycling is popular in Africa. Wherever you travel across the continent, the young and old are commuting on bikes.
Countries like Rwanda, Cameroon and Burkina Faso have their own tours.
But it seems to be an uphill climb for African riders to make it to the top of the most famous cycling competition; Tour de France.
Very few Africans have made it to the Tour and no African has won the competition.
Louis Meintjes is the highest African finisher at the Tour de France twice finishing 8th.
And he\u2019s one of only two African riders out of over 170 riders who are taking part in this year\u2019s Tour.
So what\u2019s stopping Africans from racing to the top at the Tour de France?
That\u2019s what Victoria Uwonkunda is discussing with South African Ashleigh Moolman Pasio, who\u2019s aiming for a spot on the final podium at the Tour de France Femmes, the first women\u2019s Tour.
