The Tour of Lumbar, a 3 day non-UCI tour in northern Sierra Leone.  Cycling News has a gallery.  https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/the-magic-of-the-tour-de-lunsar-gallery/  Hard, spirited racing in dirt poor Africa. Small field.  Modern bikes and kits.  Everything else one or several steps less.  Road surfaces look good: level and smooth but I could not tell if they were asphalt or dirt.  Everything seemed to be the dusty tan of the local dirt.  Fans ranged from passionate to never having seen a bike race before.

I hope this and other African races thrive.  I'd love to see bike racing become as solid a way for young African men and women to succeed, join the European and American pelotons and return to develop more racers.  Lure teams into sending scouts to draft talent.  Create pelotons here and abroad that look like the world as a whole, not an almost entirely pure white enclave.
