Have you ever seen a lady in a thong? How about a dozen of them reluctantly swooning over a bunch of dirty bike racing knobheads?

If I'm looking for naked ladies on the internet, I have plenty of outlets that don't also include a bunch of ratty bros. That these goons think anyone wants to look at them says it all.

Both the photos and the promo video clips from the shoot are peak cringe.

Those of us with daughters are probably more sensitive to this type of nonsense than others, but we should all be willing to call this out.

Lots of good up and comers for sure.

Keep an eye out for Rockshox Trek rider Tegan Cruz as well (Lucas Cruz' younger brother). He won't be doing World Cups until 2023 but he should be joining more events in 2022, I'd think.

I don't think anyone is mad about seeing pics of "chicks." I think that people are questioning the judgement of a group of male athletes who were putting out a product based on the objectification of women, in a sport that is trying to equalize women's role as participating athletes, not relegate them to arm candy and "monster girls."

“Relegate them to arm candy”
You do realize women have free will right? Nobody is forcing them to do anything. If a chick can post herself without a ton of clothes on it is seen as empowering. But if she elects to get paid as a model in similar light it is seen as being objectified? Why are triggered men making the rules on what women are allowed to do.

sorry all, for derailing w/ asking about the calendar and it turning into such a big deal in this thread. if i knew it what it was, i wouldn't have brought it up here.

if you want to talk more about it, start a new forum topic and keep it civil, please.

Ah so the moral thing to do is to look at naked Ladies on the internet at home instead of being public in your Instagram?

What exactly is exploitive or immoral about a model posing sexually with product? How is a model choosing to get paid for their attractiveness demeaning to women?

Yeah eddy is a bit of a moron to put his name in it. Sponsors like shimano aren’t going to want to stir controversy or may have conservative views towards sex themselves. But if a sexy poster with mtb stuff bothers you that says a lot more about you then it does Ed masters. Women are still women if they are acting sexually with consent. You are dehumanizing them by judging them thru your limited sexual comfort.

Hope eddy and the boys respond to criticism by doing a calendar featuring themselves and some World Cup guys. Since Batty brought his dick size into it he should probably show full dong. Won’t help his career but sometimes doubling down on stupid is more fun!

I did wonder if he might go back to Hope. They left him a bit high and dry when they pulled out of racing so wondered if they offered him first refusal to be back on the team if they started up a program.

The only reason why I think Hope might be back racing is the comments mentioning Hope on Joe Barnes leaving Orange posts.

If the Kye A'hern to UR NS rumours are true, could we see them running another Australian brother/sister team?

I thought the Vanzacs calendar was a joke at first, but apparently not. Jackson comes across as that sort of guy on Instagram - seems very immature and arrogant, but the rest of them all seem legit.

Joe Barnes on insta suggested the list of sponsors remained similar, just a frame swap. Would love to see him on another UK brand.

Comment from Privateer on the Matt Stuttard announcement suggests they will be replacing him and Chloe. Good to see them living up to the name and supporting up and coming riders.
