American podium girls vs European ones…

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Why does the one on the right look like she has curling stones bolted to her torso?

<sarcasm> hooray indeed </sarcasm>

with all the claims of Europe as forerunners of progressivism (Italy being the exception), this is an ass-backward practice that serves no real purpose. by all means, flirt with the ladies like cipo after the race is over, but do we really want the pomps of our sport to be that similar to that of professional wrestling?

I just like happy looking girls with nice smiles. I'd take that over glam queens any day.

They probably have some connection to the race organizers (friends, family, locals...).

Don't hate. There are plenty of other short, bald, 140lb Radio Shack employees that would kill to be that close to these women.

Keep it respectful boys, or we'll have to shut the door.

Thanks!
