Thank you Eden!!! Those yellow shorts are terrible. Are they trying to display the weiner area????:D
It's what Schmalz calls a "crotch heart"

OK... the Aussie guy (Matt someone-or-other) who does the introduction and round up to the stages, before and after Phil and Paul have done their thing really bugs us.
Not all of you will hear it, but Aussie gals may have heard this guy.
He cannot say Cancellara... he says Cancerella!!! ARRRGGGHHH!!!
And I gotta join the vote to redesign those skin-colour-on-the-tush shorts!!!
Looks more like a widow's peek! ;)Quote:

I love Phil's "Leeky Gas". It really sounds like a medical condition that should be looked into. :eek:
Julian Dean's diary on Thor losing his (Julz's) wheel at the finish of Stage 6:
"In any case I would have got Thor in a good position if he'd been on my wheel, which he wasn't anyway, so none of it really matters"
Good kiwi reasoning!
Yea, I read somewhere that they put that black crotch on the yellow shorts not to confuse it with the person wearing the yellow jersey. That usually has a complete different kit for the tour, but went this way this year.
Not only do I agree it is horrible looking but I still have to take a double take when watching the tour not to confuse "the yellow jersey" with one of these guys.
Imagine, someone got big bucks to come up with this idea, ugh

Thank you, Zen, I was trying to figure out a way to type that and get the effect across.Quote:

When Linus was on the podium blowing a kiss (BTW men should NOT do that!) I thought he looked like and had similar mannerisms of Michael Jackson.
Thank you everyone for affirming my hatred of the polka dot jersey. My husband and I joke about this all the time ... he actually likes the jersey ... and he's a pretty masculine guy! I think it's hideous! Yuch!
The black crotch reminds me of a photo someone posted on this site some time back ... I can't remember exactly ... I think the kits were white with red crotch. Whatever it was, every one of them looked like he might has well have been wearing saran wrap ... it left nothing to the imagination.
I, for one, am loving this Tour. This is only my 3rd year watching (got turned on to cycling when I met my now-husband three years ago). I am really enjoying the unpredictability of it. I loved watching Linus (Leee-nus) win that stage ... loved Cancellara those first few days (he's a doll!) ... strangely sort of loved sharing the pain during all the crashes ... the only thing I'm struggling with is watching Vinokurov ... I went into the Tour rooting for him and it's been so hard to see him struggle. bummer!
Anyway, it's fun sharing Tour reflections with others here! THanks!
