Vuelta A Espana Podium Girl Love/Hate Relationship
Today Anthony Roux, French, won today's stage in the Vuelta. This is a really significant stage win for me because first he gave some flowers to the first podium girls and then proceeded to spray the next podium girls with champagne in a very stripper like way. The best part is they just stood there like nothing weird was happening. A gentleman and an idiot?! Now George Hincapie married a former podium girl, so that's a different kind of degradation, but I've never seen a rider intentionally spray the podium babes. The Vuelta also boasts even BETTER looking chicks than the Giro de Italia podium girls, who were upskirt hotties. A much higher incidence of brunettes for sure but no upskirt shots yet. If I find a picture of Roux spraying the tank topped podium girls (sorry y'all, black tank tops, not white), I promise to revise!!

isnt that their job as podium girls? ...to stand there and look pretty? and maybe get sprayed w/champagne by the winner?
maybe Im missing something but this is a non issue. Unless I was doing the spraying.

Anger,
It's just not typical for the winner to spray the chicks with champagne. He opens it, drinks some and possibly sprays the audience, but not specifically the the podium girls.
OH and it was you.
Anonymous, Yep. that's what's unusual. Zarth, the link was either taken down or my internet machine couldn't access the page.
