Who knew?

Chris Froome after yesterdays Tour Down Under stage

So has his employer failed to provide adequate equipment by forcing the team to ride with this new mesh cycling kit?

Regardless of 'blame' it does seem a fairly predictable result of riding in a string vest?

Didn't quite go according to plan. He was supposed to end up with the word 'Sky' permanently burnt into his back to prevent him from switching teams.

It's the first thing I thought of when I saw Froome's tweet.

No UV protection whatsoever. All day in the saddle under a strong OZ sun. Ouch.
