Unfortunately Australia is no longer a British colony. Why was Australia left out of the poll? They did dominate at the olympics |

Re: What nation breeds the best cyclists?
France - Italy - Spain - the Basque region (France and Spain)
Each of these locations have produced the most successful cyclists in road race terms. To a lesser extent Belgium and Holland have also produced champions. Finally, Ireland, Australia and Britain and the USA. |

Re: What nation breeds the best cyclists?
Yes, you`re possibly right! I forgot Benelux countries..I realy don`t know why! Belgium population is about 10mio and Spain`s is about 40! Hard to say, but I think Belgium wins..
