Lotto Cycling Cup organizers apologized but reasoned out that they were not responsible. Johan Molineaux, the local organizer of the event, said during an interview he would not be using Hostessen Service No Limit again and planned to personally apologize to the competitors. The models were recruited by Hostessen Service No Limit, the company also offers striptease acts.
"For a lot of women it is damaged. For me it is a sad day," he said. Molineaux explained he was elsewhere during the presentation and that the women were supposed to wear cycling shirts but took them off.
The UCI, world cycling's governing body said it had looked into the incident and had contacted the organizers, who apologized.
