No.
Tri suits have a much more minimalist padding, and are also very tight-fitting. They are NOT made of neoprene. Also, a lot of them have very limited pockets (given that tri geeks like to spend big bucks on aero bikes and then festoon them with bento boxes, attached bottles and all sorts of thingies).
Get bibs and a cycling jersey if you are doing road riding.
