Methinks the telly folks got wise to it after a while - the edited highlights had a distinct lack of wet white skinsuits. And Fabian Cancellara, who won, and was wearing a virtually white outfit, managed to get round in the dry and avoid any embarrassment. But I still can't help wondering why they haven't got wise to it...
I personally find the lean whippet-y type of male that takes part in pro-cycling more aesthetically pleasing than the squat, oafish ones that are the standard pin-up boys of soccer and rugby. They tend to be very polite and well-spoken, too, the kind of lads you really wouldn't mind your daughter bringing home for dinner...
Perhaps that's why I married a cyclist. He wasn't ever a pro, but he was a schoolboy champion (long before I met him). And he knows better than to wear white shorts, too!!
