Poll: Podium Girls - good or bad

Postby Phil H » Thu Apr 04, 2013 11:59 am

In other parts of the internet, the Sagan-bottom-pinching has raised the question of whether, in the 21st century there should still be podium girls (women, sorry). After all, in the women's race, they don't have hunky blokes come up and kiss them - I mean, I've never been asked to do this for a start. And that's before we get into LGBT issues.

They have podium girls in women's racing too. That's why Judith Ardnt likes winning so much.

I did a quick Google image search and am unable to locate any photographic evidence of her being kissed by podium girls. In the interests of diversity etc. I would obviously be in favour of such a thing.

Good - if you're alluding to the Polish & EE tour PGs.
