Colombians go 'Brazilian' in cycling suits

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.”

You've missed the whole point. Stop being a prude and get with the modern $$$world of advertising. Sure it's about the body.....and these girls have beautiful young bodies-I am sure....but we don't get to see their bodies do we?

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 LOLSmiley LOL

Being 2014, there is a level of decency that would be expected by athletes......it is not ancient Greece.

If someone wants to make a career as a professional athlete...... they should not have to be subjected to "sexual mindplay" for the

 

titillation of others.....if that's what people want to perve at.... get a magazine or go to a "club".

 

I wouldn't want my daughter wearing one of those in front of international press.

Sorry paints, but they're indecent and don't belong in a sporting event. If that opinion makes me a prude, so be it. I think frontal nudity in a sporting event like cycling is ridiculous, whether it's the real thing or printed on their suit makes no difference. You wouldn't be riding a bike with no pants on that's for sure, so what're they advertising? It's degrading to the female athletes modelling those suits and yet another example of exploiting women for profit.

Advertising aside - all I see are 5 very ordinary looking girls trying desperately to look extraordinary, and

failing miserably.  Smiley Frustrated
