Professional Cycling For the Fans - Ugly Sun Glasses

Is there a competition for the gaudiest sun glasses this year? If you can win a stage I guess youcan wear any style but some of the sunglasses are just butt ugly to me. :geek:
Saturday time trial should have a different yellow jersey leader at the end.

Do DS count in this comp. Because I think the Matt White may take it.

I like the new racing jackets much better than the old ones though

They look a bit like Robin's mask from Batman.
I like Kohl's sunglasses-- like goggles. They kind of have that early-days-of-the-Tour-de-France look to them.

I haven't paid to much attention to glasses this year. However some images that are still burnt in my memory are from what Cipollini wore. For a fashion conscious Italian he really wore some ugly as$ glasses.

But if I was being paid, I guess I'd be wearing them too :cry:

that's just Hincapie. he's always worn the worst looking eyewear, and if he changed and wore something nice looking, i'm sure people would wonder why. honestly, i doubt some people would even recognize him...
