The Colombian Women Cycling Team’s Awkward Uniforms Cause Controversy





At an event held by the Instituto Distrital de Reacreación y Deporte in Italy last Friday, the Colombian women cycling team shocked the attendees when they stepped onstage in their unusual uniforms.



At first sight, the cyclists seemed to be exposed from mid-torso to their upper thighs because of the flesh-toned panels on their uniforms.



According to Mashable, “the negative reactions were so strong” that the President of the Union Cycliste Internationale Brian Cookson took to Twitter to express his view on the matter.
