This is such a LOL 🙂 Colombia women cycling team outfit raises eyebrows, a lot of eyebrows
The Colombian women's cycling team has become an international media sensation.
Unfortunately for the girls, though, it's not for their riding prowess, but rather their "Brazilian" outfits.
Competing in Italy's Giro Toscana, the team unveiled arguably the worst ever cycling suit - an unflattering number that to the naked eye appears see-through in all the wrong places.
The otherwise conservative kit features a large patch of flesh coloured cloth across the women's lower torsos and groins, giving the impression of a cut-out revealing bare flesh.
And worse still the shocker suit appears to have been given government approval with the team backed by the Colombian ministry of sport and sponsored by the capital city of Bogota.
Whether it was a cunning ploy to simply gain media attention, a colour-blind designer or a chauvanist behind the get-up no one knows.
But the design has earned the wrath of social media followers, with much pitty offered to the cyclists and plenty of mirth.
One Twitter user, @theBikeFaerie, posted a photo captioned: "Worst designed garment of clothing in the history of the human race."
Other users shared it more than 1600 times, with one tweeting: "Why would someone agree to wear it?!" and another posting:
"Extraordinary that someone would design it and even more extraordinary that any woman would wear it!! :-)"

A Colombian ladies’ cycling team taking part in one of Italy’s most important cycling races has raised eyebrows for their outfit, international cycling media reported on Saturday.
The outfit of the team, sponsored by the city government of Bogota, is made of a skin-color fabric around the sportswomen’s waste and hips, curiously accentuating the cyclists’ private parts.
“How sad,” Italian cycling website Tutobiciweb headlined the article on the team’s “nude look.”
The “revealing” photo immediately became a hit on social media where the consensus seemed to be the design is “just wrong” and “a general disaster.”

So why haven't they got a nude-man-with-a-brazilan print on the front of their pants?

I feel sorry for these guys.
Fancy having to parade around looking downtrodden by having an imprint of a foot on their chest.
DEB
And that foot? What is that?
An indication of their shoe size? lol

If you cannot handle looking at natural body shapes then don't go to the beach or indoor pool EVER is my advice.
These suits are brilliant imo.....they are not RUDE....it is sexual mindplay that might suggest the suits are rude LOL
Advertising aside - all I see are 5 very ordinary looking girls trying desperately to look extraordinary, and
failing miserably.
and the 6th one ??
Haha , yep her too.

Actually as one of the girls pointed out, they are professional cyclists posing for a presentation. They're quite happy with the uniform they've been wearing all year and they dress for riding, not their looks or for the sexy image.
They're not desperately trying to look anything and could be described as extraordinary cyclists, if comparing them with people who cycle to the shops once a week.

I happily agree to disagree.
