IN January Britain's Chris Froome showcased Team Sky's new for 2014 'fishnet style' cycling outfit to his twitter followers.

'Trying out my new 2014 @TeamSky @rapharacing kit. The skin suit takes #marginalgains to the next level,' Froome tweeted.

Unfortunately for the reigning Tour de France champion the black mesh material took #sunburn to the next level as well.

Froome's fiancée Michelle Cound took to Twitter to post the picture of her husband-to-be's red raw back, along with the words: 'The danger with wearing mesh jerseys... #OUCH'
