White Saddles at TDF

Mark said:

Does anyone know what make/brand saddles these are? I'm
seeing lots of them in the Tour, Mark

I have a Selle Italia Flite, GenuineGel. It was really nice
and white when I bought it but after a very short time the
color wore off and now it's more like a brownish grey ugly
looking thing.

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT COLOR YOUR SADDLE IS, YOU STILL NEED
TO WEAR YOUR SHORTS!

There are some shoe dyes that will restore the finish but
most of them are just surface finishes that leave you with a
white butt.

A white butt? A white BUTT? Why don't you just go all the
way Tom and say "bottom" or "tush?" Man, the [censored] we have to
put up with around here.

I think some of those saddles might be Fizik saddles, too.
They make one with a distinctive tail on it. It comes to a
blunt point rather than having a flat tail.

So you don't think I wear cycling shorts either do you?
White butt, my ass! Let me tell you! Here in Sweden we wear
cycling shorts on top of XC skiing long johns and a wetsuit
to go on top. You heard Hushovds comments about the weather
didn't you. When asked about the rain and cold after his win
today he just laughed and said he was sitting really comfy
not minding it a bit since it was just like home. Of course
that was a small lie since the rain usually turns into snow
where he comes from 😉

Just curious, how cold before you break out the wetsuit?

The wetsuit is mainly to keep you from freezing your ass of
when it is not snowing. Ie when it is raining instead.
Yesterday was rain and probably 12-14 degrees Celsius.

On a more serious note. Yesterday was 12-14 degrees Celsius
and rain. Under my jersey I wore one of these undershirts
that look like a net with windstopper material in the front.
Arm and legwarmers. After about two hours I had slowly
chilled to the point where I broke out my rainjacket. Lots
of vaseline on the butt to keep the water from the back tire
away. I wish summer would hurry up and get here ;((

I know you ride in the winter and thought a wetsuit might be
your secret weapon. It is of interest to me because I ride
through the winter as well.

In the winter I remove arm and legwarmers and wear
longlegged bibs over my cyclingshorts and a winter jacket.
The jacket and longleged bibs have a windstoppper up front
and very soft kind of warm breathable material on the back.
It is not enough to walk or stand still, but as soon as I
start riding it's all I need down to -15 Celcius. This is
for training rides and we usually don't go if it's colder
than -10. The trick here is to keep the sweat from staying
next to the body. I think this net undershirt with the
windstopper up front is my secret weapon actually. Since I
got that I've never been cold from moisture on the body. I
don't really know what it's called in english and the only
brandname I can find on it is "DRY". Don't know if that is a
company or what. Commuting to work I'll just kinda wear
anything at all as long as it's warm enough. Not going fast
enough to break a sweat going through downtown Stockholm so
it isn't really necessary to wear technical clothing.

I'll give the undershirt a try. I remember seeing something
similar... Thanks for the tip!
