Here is a better photo for you Bruce

Wonder what it looks like from behind?

I still don't really get it. That bit of the kit isn't see through, it still has a chamois to obscure any bits (a lot more than many mens kits do). I mean sure, it isn't a pretty kit at all, but people are carrying on as though its indecent, which I don't really understand.

Do you know any of there names Bruce? Mainly third from the left. Doing a piece on female cyclists you see.

I had to do a double take Bruce when I saw the picture as from a distance they looked *ahem* exposed.

It's definitely not been done to garner interest in womens cycling though...
 

Seems rather wrong to be looking quite so hard at that bit of those girls, but is it really that much different to say this?

Or indeed this? (one for you @RAFUH )

Clearly it is. I recently saw a rather large lady wearing a 'nude' coloured top. Nearly puked. Which would have been onconvenient as I was driving at the time. To act as if there's nothing 'diferent' about those kits is to stick one's head in the sand.

I think it's the flesh colouring that makes the difference as it creates the momentary illusion of being naked.


(Just for the record I'm really not arsed what colour scheme they wear - I can just see why in today's culture of offended at everything why there has been some faux outrage)

Might be because I'm colour blind or something, but I haven't once looked at those pictures and thought they had no clothing around their midrift. I mean it doesn't look skin coloured at all, does it? Certainly not the skin colour of Colombian people!
