Fashion Alert! Gilbert Goes Blonde

Another vote of approval.

I’m surprised at how good it looks on him.

I think all the pre-Tour hair cuts and changes are awfully sweet. Primping for the big day.

Looks to be "platinum" blonde

I like it.

The conspiracy

argument that he dyed his hair to cover doping.

Meh, weak sauce.

by Jen See on Jun 29, 2011 2:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

It actually worked. A bit.

So the argument (although it’s a joke of course) isn’t that far fetched.

he’s going for the tri-color to match the jersey, so don’t pass judgement until he has the red and black steps done…. gosh!
