  1. This may be of interest to anyone who has traveled in Morocco. On my first
    flight into Casablanca in 1988, I was somewhat amazed to see from the window
    of our landing 747 racing cyclists out training. I eventually met some of
    them and they were very well equiped. It seems times have changed.

    Le cyclisme marocain sortira-t-il du marasme ?

    Un tour national qui attirait quelques unes des stars des pelotons
    internationaux, des coureurs locaux qui rivalisaient avec les
    professionnels, une fédération dont la balance économique était toujours
    excédentaire. Durant les années 60-70-80, le Maroc a eu son heure de gloire.
    Aujourd'hui, le cyclisme essaie de se sortir d'un marasme dans lequel il a
    été précipité par des dirigeants peu scrupuleux, attirés par la manne
    financière énorme qu'il représentait......

    They've progressed, just like Zimbabwe.

    Did you count them? Are you sure there were 7 hundred and forty-seven?
