What a **** photo job.

What is that content aware filling on the leftmost guys jersey's bottom?
And the nose of the 2nd guy from the left?

LOL. The image of the bibs is where the hem of the jersey should be. What crap.

Wow, that is four skinny cyclists!

I watched a Sunday in Hell this weekend while riding the trainer and I noted how the riders weren't skeletons riding bikes like we have today.

Lol the BMC jersey looks like a sponsor joined 3mins before the jerseys were manufactured.

Yes if you are serious about road biking then no more than 8-9% fat content (I suppose the pros are at 5%) or you can only go for Criterium races in the US.

I was thinking the same thing after reading what it said at the bottom


After watching footage of Wiggins at the indoor rowing championships.

- He is fat
- His technique on the Concept 2 ergo is crap!

I find it sad when athletes like Wiggins have to turn to a "sport" like indoor rowing to get their rocks off. He should of just stayed a track cyclist.

The BMC kit is just awful. To my eyes, it’s as if the designer is trying to produce the ugliest kit he/she can. And what’s with the weird angled sleeves?

Isn't indoor rowing just rowing but in winter when it's too cold to be in/on the water?

Sophos is the new Oath :p

Good to see WW biases carry across disciplines though. If Wiggins took up baking his cookies would taste like shit AND he’d be fat.
