It&#8217;s possible that Gobik has made a mistake when printing a certain number of its men&#8217;s skinsuits, leaving them with the Women&#8217;s WorldTour logo.<\/p>\n<p>The second possibility is a mis-build. Skinsuits are made by stitching together an &#8216;upper&#8217; and a &#8216;lower&#8217;, so it&#8217;s possible a men&#8217;s lower has been stitched to a women&#8217;s upper.<\/p>\n<p>Even in this scenario, there may be no real <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/tag\/performance\/\" data-auto-tag-linker=\"true\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/tag\/performance\/\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/tag\/performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">performance<\/a> difference. Gobik makes a unisex jersey as part of its Movistar range, so unlike the &#8216;lower&#8217; that is gender-specific, there may be no difference in the fit of the off-the-peg &#8216;upper&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, it&#8217;s a problem that&#8217;s likely to be rectified come the second week of the Giro starting on Tuesday, with the women&#8217;s kit surely to be taken out of Mas&#8217; laundry rotation to avoid any further non-sponsor-correctness.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-72eb3790-883d-4a7c-83f5-a9ea33aa6162\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:3552px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:99.07%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Jf9GYFLBfoLYeBYXS9og2P-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Jf9GYFLBfoLYeBYXS9og2P-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Jf9GYFLBfoLYeBYXS9og2P-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Jf9GYFLBfoLYeBYXS9og2P-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Jf9GYFLBfoLYeBYXS9og2P-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Jf9GYFLBfoLYeBYXS9og2P-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"COSENZA, ITALY - MAY 12: Enric Mas of Spain and Team Movistar competes during the 109th Giro d&amp;#039;Italia 2026, Stage 4 a 138km stage from Catanzaro to Cosenza \/ #UCIWT \/ on May 12, 2026 in Cosenza, Italy.
