"Who has the good legs?" is the new slogan of E3 Saxo Classic after controversial poster was taken offline

A few weeks ago, the E3 Saxo Classic organization traditionally presented a striking, but this time also very controversial poster. After the storm of criticism, the poster was taken offline and the E3 Saxo Classic showed the new cartoon on Monday.
"Who has the good legs?" is the slogan of the spring classic on X. On the banner itself you can clearly see shaved legs, but E3 keeps it a mystery whether they are women's or men's legs.

"Wout Van Aert crosses the line bareback!" was the initial slogan of the E3 Saxo Classic a few weeks ago, which immediately set the tone with a spelling error. "LGBTQ community very enthusiastic... About Van der Poel's rainbow jersey of course," the cartoon continued. On his way to winning the cyclocross in Benidorm, Spain, Van Aert lost his saddle after making a mistake. Van der Poel did not win for the first time this season after a heavy fall.
The cartoon obviously caused bad blood among the LGBTQ+ community and also among cycling analysts. "What a sad level," Thijs Zonneveld then posted a few hours later. After the many negative reactions, the organization took the cartoon offline again. In addition, an apology was sent through X.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
