I would also mention Dan Craven. Must be one of the most successful Africans. |

Not sure that Bukit Fraser is quite as Mountainy as Genting would have been.
It definitely looks like a Matthews-esque or Swift-esque performance though.

I guess it could be Natnael Berhane, with GC wins at Turkey in 2013 and La Tropicale last year. Probably will be Kudus soon, but his best result so far is 2nd at Langkawi last year.
I was rather talking about all-time best as I know the current crop quite well myself.
I just wasn't sure if there ever was a prolific rider before I started to watch cycling.

Cycling in Africa is still quite new I think.
On UCI Level at least.
So todays riders might be the most successful ones.

One more stage left in Croatia. Herklotz starting his season pretty well here as also the Austrians.
Unfortunately once more also bad news with another stealing issue:

Guardini with yet another stage win in Langkawi ahead of Ewan.
Reguigui taking the GC. Might be a bit surprising but without Genting Highlands, it was never a race suited for the real climbers. Quite a pity as I was looking forward to Kudus` performance there.

If you're bored and have nothing to do (or if you're genuinely interested, of course), Nokere Koerse has live video.

And Boeckmans takes it, easily.
Justin Jules is second, I think. A great sprint but came from too far.

Scott Thwaites having a nice run recently. 5-5-3 in the last week.
Edit: Bauhaus apparently 4th as well for Bora makes it a nice race for the team and the young sprinter.

And the Bora guys had a hard time getting back into contention as well after being hindered by slowing leadouts with ~600m to go.

Indeed, he killed his step father but only got one year in prison since his step dad was an alcoholic |

Boeckmans looking good for San Remo. Add Gallopin, Wellens, Roelandts and Greipel and Lotto suddenly has a lot of option.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Just catching up on this one thanks to Cyclinghub - Boeckmans was beginning to look embarrassed by the finish line the gap was so big. I gave up counting the bike lengths by the end  |
