I mean, really!?! When they get wet they are obscene. Unless you live somewhere like SA, the Mediterranean or in California, there is a fair chance you are going to get caught in the rain, so why share a view of your hairy b*tt crack or worse with all and sundry? :roll:
This is England. It rains. Say "No" to white shorts.

Surely white lycra shorts have black lycra in the crucial places?
Or were they normal shorts?
I had similar problem recently with a fella who's shorts were worn out and see through from behind. Didn't have the heart to tell him.0 -

Not climber, not sprinter, not rouleur0 -

They do them with and without. The TDF ones worn by the team did not have a black panel, and you can buy them.Not climber, not sprinter, not rouleur0 -

Is it my depraved imagination, or does it look like everyone's head has been photoshopped onto someone else's body? Particularly the German champion (not sure if it's male or female)
It's just a hill. Get over it.0 -

I think it is the design of the jerseys - makes them look like they have very small torsos and very big heads. Not a great kit design.......(doesn't apply to the German champ of course though - that one probably is just odd).Faster than a tent.......0 -

At first impression I also thought, wow they all have really big heads, but after starring at the photo for a while - the heads seemed pretty normal proportioned. I guess its one of those hypnotic trick-photos - since after an hour of starring I saw myself in the national jersey.0
