I've just done a quick tot up and at present the team is 16/7 African/Non-African.
It'll be interesting to do the same when the team is finalised for 2015

With nine places in a GT team, that means they could have as many as TWO whole non-white African riders in their squad if they get a wildcard for the Giro again next year.

OT but while we're on the subject of African cycling, something I meant to mention earlier but it slipped my mind...
I've been doing a bit of freelance work for a magazine called Forever Sports recently - contract published for the Sports Direct chain and sold in all their stores (http://foreversports.com). The current issue has a rather nice photo reportage feature about the Kenyan Riders team - there's not much to it, just some lovely pictures with captions, but it's a nice bit of exposure for them. It also includes a great pic of David Kinjah wearing one of Chris Froome's Sky jerseys.

I'm sure that makes sense but I got lost!
At your age that tends to happen, but don't worry... a bit further down the line you just won't remember that you don't get most of what is being said around you....just have some patience

For Sky with those new signings, something like: Froome, Porte, Konig, Roche, Poels, Thomas, Stannard, Eisel, Kiryienka already looks to have a bit more punch to it. Either way it should mean complete non-performers like Lopez are out of the tour team.

As long as they stay more injury free than this year
I would put kennaugh in there too, being the British cycling champion and all that

Agreed, I just threw a first 9 together to be honest. Kennaugh seems to have something about him too, good bit of fight etc

Who would you drop for Kennaugh? It's a tough call!

Surely Wiggins should be in there as a World Champion
Bernie I think

Cunego leaving Lampre to lead Nippo-Vini Fantini.
I'm predicting he'll get "better" next year...
edit - I forgot to mention, he's also going to University to study "sports science" so I'm imagining he'll be "really good", maybe even "Horner good"
