Around SBN: Ryder Hesjedal Wins Giro d'Italia

For reasons best known to themselves, a girls team in Asti and sponsored by Footon and Servetto has, rather than design their jersey anew, come to an agreement with Mauro Gianetti to use the version his Pro Tour team rode in back in 2010.

Because, because, because, because, because, because, because.

ALlthough, this more than any other kit, requires a photo of the shorts before a ruling.

recall

sadly, they actually quietly changed the shorts part way through that season from mainly “bum skin beige” to including more black

Oh, oh, I had almost forgotten the giant naked-looking nappy* portion of the kit!

*is nappy a word used anywhere other than the UK? I think it’s more common to say diaper in the USA, eg

This poor rider was almost insane due to his kit:

Previous incarnation is the only cycling team kit

have never encountered a fan wearing at the roadside – not even ironically.

I got a Fuji that year

and my husband offered (threatened?) to buy me F-S kit to go with it.

I believe I declined.

And now I'd really like to see it on the girls!

(of course I could just ask one to try it on…)

i still think

that if they’d get better colors it’d be ok

Agree. The Foot is cool in a geeky way.

It’s the flesh coloring—especially on the shorts, ffs—that is horrific.

In a weird way I am glad to see it back.
