El Español Carlos Rodríguez Gana El Tour De Romandía

• Print Article

El ciclista español Carlos Rodríguez (centro) celebra su triunfo en el Tour de Romandía, este domingo 28 de abril en Vernier, Suiza

El español Carlos Rodríguez ganó el Tour de Romandía, tras una quinta y última etapa en la que se impuso al esprint el francés Dorian Godon, este domingo en Vernier, cerca de Ginebra.

Rodríguez (Ineos Grenadier), de 23 años, aventajó al ruso Alexandre Vlasov, segundo a siete segundos, y al alemán Florian Lipowitz, tercero a nueve, para ganar su primera carrera por etapas en el World Tour, la primera división del ciclismo mundial.

El ciclista andaluz marcó la diferencia en la víspera al finalizar tercero en la etapa reina, tras cinco ascensiones, en la que Juan Ayuso, otra perla del ciclismo español (21 años), líder desde la contrarreloj del viernes, perdió el maillot de líder.

Como estaba previsto, la última etapa, un recorrido de 150,8 kilómetros sin dificultad mayor alrededor de Vernier, no cambió los primeros puestos de la general.

Godon (Décathlon-AG2R La Mondiale) logró su segunda victoria en la carrera tras imponerse en la primera etapa, el miércoles.

Con un tiempo lluvioso y fresco en los alrededores de Ginebra, el velocista francés de 27 años exhibió su velocidad.

"La bici es un tema de espiral, de confianza... Mis compañeros hicieron un gran trabajo para mí", señaló el ciclista del Décathlon-AG2R La Mondiale.

A Rodríguez le bastó con mantenerse dentro del pelotón, rodeado por sus compañeros del Ineos, entre ellos el colombiano Egan Bernal, clave en la etapa del sábado.

El español mostró su potencial el año pasado ganando una etapa de montaña en el Tour de Francia, en Morzine, terminando quinto en la general, en su primera participación.

En forma de nuevo esta temporada, ganó hace tres semanas la última etapa de la Vuelta al País Vasco y fue segundo en la general.

Bora-Hansgrohe roll out special Tour de France kit

German team replaces dark green with white

What you are looking at above is not a strange new national champion's jersey - it's Bora-Hansgrohe's alternative kit for the 2022 Tour de France .

The new design by UK company Le Col will put the team in lighter shades for the heat of July, replacing the darker green sections their usual geometric jersey with white and flipping the white Bora logo for black.

The change also turns the black right arm to green and the black sleeve bands to white.

Everything about the 2022 Tour de France Jumbo-Visma 2022 Tour de France jersey 2022 WorldTour team kits: The definitive ranking

Further down, the bib shorts keep their asymmetrical look with green and red on the leg band and the Le Col logo gets more pop with a white background.

The team enlisted equipment sponsor Specialized's designers to come up with the original 2022 jersey design which was inspired by US college sports teams, according to their pre-season press release. That design was rated the best in the WorldTour by Cyclingnews .

Bora-Hansgrohe aren't the only team to switch jerseys for the Tour de France. The sport's biggest race often sees special edition kits or re-designs to avoid clashing with the four leaders' jerseys.

Jumbo-Visma revealed their special Tour de France jersey for 2022, with the sponsor logo backdrop the result of an algorithm that "analysed 50 paintings of Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Van Gogh to highlight small renowned pieces".

All the team kits for 2024: Lifeplus-Wahoo team up with MAAP on new green kit

Keep up to date with the jerseys to watch out for next season in our complete guide

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

It is January, we are days away from the opening of the 2024 season and the Tour Down Under, and so it is time for the floodgates to open and for all the teams to release their kits, if they haven't already. Some came out way back in early December, but now is the time for most to be released. 

Rather than writing up each team individually, we thought it would work better if we collated them together, unless someone does something mad. When all the kits are out, we can do our usual arbitrary ranking of them too , so do look out for that. In this guide, we will cover just the WorldTour teams, though, otherwise it will get a bit overwhelming.

If you would rather find out which team riders will be appearing for next year, rather than what they will be wearing, you can find that on our comprehensive transfer guide for 2024 too .

Those looking to make a splash with their new jersey, shorts and socks combos should be wary of the fate that has already befallen Ineos Grenadiers, with Egan Bernal appearing to accidentally revealing next year's kit - with a different manufacturer - on social media. 

So far, we are only certain of a dozen or so kits for next season, but the launches have already meant some big changes in the colours of the men's and women's pelotons for next season.

Lifeplus-Wahoo

All change at Lifeplus-Wahoo, who become the second British Continental team to be sponsored by Australian kit brand MAAP after Trinity. The women's team wore a dark green with blue, pink and yellow jersey last year, but this year have gone with a neon green and light purple jersey, with dark green shorts.

"We’re honoured to be sponsoring the Lifeplus-Wahoo professional women’s team," Oliver Cousins, MAAP's co-founder, said. "The team’s values, focus and commitment to the progression of women’s cycling is truly inspiring. For us at MAAP, this is not just a commitment to excellence in cycling; it's a vital investment in the empowerment of women in sports. We want to foster athletic prowess as well as actively propel the sport forward by cultivating a more equitable future in the world of cycling."

The press release from the British squad says: "As well as outfitting the team, MAAP will also be lifting the lid on what it takes to make it in the world of women’s professional cycling through an exclusive series of behind-the-scenes content."

Canyon-SRAM

In the words of the above model, Kasia Niewiadoma, her team Canyon-SRAM new kit is "vibrant, sharp and fiesty". 

The women's WorldTour outfit has chosen another characteristically bold design. This time, there's a musical undertone, with the patterns said to embody the sounds and rhythms of a race day.  

The impressively pretentious press release reads: "From the whir of the freewheels to the roar of the crowds, brilliant riffs of harmonic colour wrap around the rider with pure sound energy in motion, mirroring the impact the team have in the peloton." 

It's a vibe, and we like it. 

dsm-firmenich PostNL

In the worst kept secret in cycling, dsm-firmenich PostNL have finally 'unveiled' their new kit, which was showcased at the Australian National Road Championships last week and soft launched in November last year. 

The Dutch team has gone for a fresh look for 2024. Out goes the black and blue, donned for the past three seasons, and in come bright orange stripes, layered on an icy white and blue backdrop. 

The new attire made by Nalini is "dazzling" and "expertly crafted", according to the team. 

There's also a hidden meaning in the orange stripes: "The left stripe represents the continuous development of each individual person, while the right stripe visualises their ever-improving innovative environment." Obviously. 

Lotto-Dstny

Lotto-Dstny veered away from their traditional red and white kit last year with the arrival of Dstny as a sponsor, adding a splash of orange and a light blue, or teal. 2024's kit is much the same, with a red chest, a band of orange, and then an aqua-blue below that. The big change is the shape of the orange band, and a slightly different shade of blue.

EF Education-EasyPost and EF Education-Cannondale

Some kits receive very little fanfare at all, but the Rapha kit drop for EF Pro Cycling always provokes a lot of interest. 2024’s offering is fun, with pink inevitably the main colour, but with splashes of yellow across it. It feels like a homage to two of the most popular highlighter colours, but that’s not a bad thing. 

The kits contain messages written across them, from standard cycling phrases like “UP UP UP” and “TURN THE SCREW” to references to a card game that the team likes to play. Owain Doull said: “Unless you're in the team, you wouldn't understand, so I think that's really cool.”

Both the men’s and women’s team wear the same exact kit, for the first time, with the latter now being managed by the same umbrella organisation. The largely pink jersey is paired with black bib shorts and white socks, with the final item supposedly returning due to popular demand. The men and women will need to change their colours for the Giro d’Italia, but that’s a way off yet.

Jayco AlUla and Liv AlUla Jayco

Australian men's team Jayco AlUla and women's team Liv AlUla Jayco will once again wear slightly different designs in 2024. 

The teams unveiled their new kits on New Year's Day, with the jersey blending up from orange to blue for the men, and orange to purple for the women. 

According to the teams, the colours are significant, with "a dash of blue tones inspired from the Australian ocean, the Jayco blue jay bird and Giant Bicycles, to the red hot desert sands of the outback mixed in with hints of deep aubergine found in the AlUla night sky and Liv Cycling."

It's red, white and blue for women's WorldTour squad FDJ - Suez, whose riders continue to style themselves in the French tricolour. 

Designed by Gobik, the team's 2024 kit is almost identical to its 2023 offering, with subtle differences in the texture of the pattern. 

In FDJ - Suez's own words, it's "a refined fusion of style and innovation". 

Intermarché-Wanty

The newly renamed Intermarché-Wanty - due to Belgian laws on gambling adverts - keep the same colours for their 2024 kit, just in a slight different pattern. What was a lime green and navy blue splurge across the stomach of the jersey becomes lime green and navy blue geometric shapes across the top and down the right hand side.

The Walloon team has switched kit suppliers, from Nalini to Verge Sport, and the brand has come up with a simple and smart offering which leaves room for all the sponsors across the front, back, and sides of the jersey. The right sleeve is also in the fetching lime green, and it will be paired with navy blue bib shorts.

Visma-Lease a Bike

The newly renamed Visma-Lease a Bike stick to the yellow and black of Jumbo-Visma as they seek to build on their historic 2023. The Dutch supermarket chain might be gone as sponsors, but it lives on in the iconic yellow branding. 

All told, it's pretty simple, with the sponsors in black on a plain yellow background, with black down the sides, and a hex pattern on the stomach.

The team's boss, Richard Plugge, said that they were launching "more than just a new kit", but a "new corporate identity" too, with the hexagon/honeycomb shapes.

Visma will have to change their kit for the Tour de France come July, once more.

Spain's Movistar have gone for evolution rather than evolution for 2024, with a new shade of blue employed, but one which has appeared on many of their kits.

It's not all one blue, either, with a more navy variant of the colour reaching up from the bottom of the jersey, and there are flashed of white on the back. Both the men and the women will wear this kit, alongside the team's e-sports squad. It's made by Gobik, who are also responsible for the Ineos Grenadiers' one below.

The press release says: "It's a restyling from the previous design, updated to include Telefónica's 100th anniversary celebration logo, while also presenting a resemblance of patterns from networks and fiber, a wink to the year's 'leitmotiv'."

Israel-Premier Tech

Israel-Premier Tech have opted for a more muted kit for 2024, sticking to different shades of blue and white, rather than complicating it with purples and reds. It has the effect of representing the colours of the Israeli flag, and also Premier Tech's colours.

It is the second year the team have had a kit designed by Ekoï, and this one combines navy and two lighter shades of blue, on both the body and the left sleeve. The right sleeve is white. Apparently, it takes inspiration from the team's special Giro kit from 2023, but that had a lot more red. 

SD Worx are known for their "beautiful female outfits", according to the press release which accompanied the launch of the team's new kit. The squad, which I would argue is more known for dominating women's races this season, will be looking more purple in 2024, a return to their 2021 colours really.

The Dutch team also has the highest concentration of world, continental, and national champions, so it is kind of rare to see their top riders in their trade kit - Demi Vollering (Dutch national champion), Lotte Kopecky (world champion) and Marlen Reusser (European champion) speak to this.

However, Lorena Wiebes will be wearing the normal kit, and she described it as "special". Purple is the dominant colour on the chest, but there are also reds and oranges on the front and back of the jersey, along with the giant asterisk thing, the provenance of which escapes me. Paired with black shorts, it's smart, although Wiebes' former European champion bands do rather jar.

Astana-Qazaqstan

Astana-Qazaqstan keep their iconic blue for 2024, which almost goes without saying, but with an added "pattern similar to the veins of mineral stones", according to the press release. Mark Cavendish will ride on for one more year in quite a smart-looking blue jersey, with extra detail on the stomach.

Apparently other inspiration for the kit "comes from the colour affinity with the blue of the sky and the gold of the sun, as well as with elements of the flag of Kazakhstan".

It comes from Biemme, an Italian brand founded in 1978, who take over from Giordana. 

Alexandr Vinokurov, the general manager of Astana, said that it was a "fresh jersey for the riders and [a] fresh start for the team".

Soudal Quick-Step

There isn't a lot of change at Soudal Quick-Step, to be honest, but there is more blue and less white. The Belgian team stick with Castelli, who have supplied much the same jersey for 2024, with subtle changes.

There is a little floral pattern on the sleeves, although it is quite subtle, and other than the blue and white percentages changing a bit, that's it.

The new jersey was designed in collaboration with Stijn Dossche, the man behind stycle.design, who often creates elaborate concept kits. 

"I have also tried to add some different shades of blue, which refer to the sky and the seas," Dossche said. "And the movement in the floral patterns, which show the team’s movement through the natural surroundings in which cycling takes place, and the shapes are to capture the movement of the sport. I think it is really important to protect this environment.”

Quick-Step's women's team, AG Insurance - Soudal Quick-Step, has an identical jersey, just with a different sponsor on the front.

Booooom 💥Our 2024 jersey is out and we absolutely love it 🤩#unlockyourpotential #GearUp #wolfpack📹: @sam_has_a_camera pic.twitter.com/zkBkZUlq43 December 15, 2023

Bora-Hansgrohe

Bora-Hansgrohe said goodbye to its former kit partner Le Col at the end of the 2023 season and the dark shades of green that became synonymous with the German team’s appearance.

Ralph Denk’s squad is back with former partner Sportful for 2024 and the likes of new signing Primož Roglič - and former Giro d’Italia winner Jai Hindley - will be rolling out in a jersey featuring a bright yellow shoulder panel in the new season. 

The shade of yellow is reminiscent of that which was worn by the former Tinkoff team.

As well as the yellow shoulder panel, the jersey features two different shades of green. On the left shoulder the majority of the panelling is a similar shade to last year’s kit although it gradually turns to a lighter shade towards the centre of the chest. 

Ineos Grenadiers

The British team has slowly been edging away from their old navy or black in recent years, and more towards their orange training kit, and this year is almost a full transition. Ineos Grenadiers will be wearing the orange, red and dark navy kit on the road next season, seemingly with orange helmets to boot. It will certainly help them stand out in the peloton.

Of course, we already knew most of this thanks to Bernal's slip-up on social media , but the official announcement of a new deal with Gobik was made public on Wednesday, a "long-term partnership". It means the Spanish brand now supplies two teams on the WorldTour, Ineos and Movistar, two squads seeking to get back to former glories in 2024.

"The quality of the race kit has such a dramatic impact on rider performance," John Allert, Ineos Grenadiers' CEO said. "Therefore choosing a kit partner is not something we take lightly, I’m looking forward to seeing where this collaboration takes us and them in 2024."

The kit is largely orange, fading into a darker hue and then red on the shoulder, with a dark navy left sleeve. It will be paired with black bib shorts and white socks.  

Truth be told, we missed Cofidis' kit last week - sorry to them. Their kit has not changed much from last year, though, so perhaps that's for the best. Van Rysel is no longer in charge of the French team's kit, because they have moved to design AG2R's, so Spanish company Mobel comes in instead.

The pattern on the chest has changed a bit, but I couldn't really tell you what's going on on there. Maybe it's one you need to see in person. There's a bit more red, with the collar also taking on the hue, but other than that I would not be able to tell you the difference. It's still good and clean, though.

UAE Team Emirates

Tadej Pogačar will still be in a white jersey at the Tour de France next summer after all, thanks to his UAE Team Emirates choosing to go completely white for next season. 

The kit is "pure white", meaning "pure speed", according to Pissei, the manufacturer. It isn't quite all white, with the red, green and black of the UAE flag featuring on the bottom of the jersey, and blue, black and red featuring in the sponsor logos, but it is a lot more white than in 2023. 

Pogačar's also featured the flag of Slovenia, as he is the current national champion. Paired with white helmets, it is a clean look for the 2023 WorldTour's best team.

Bahrain Victorious

Damiano Caruso in the new jersey

The biggest change in Bahrain Victorious’ 2024 kit is the colour. Matej Mohorič, Fred Wright, Pello Bilbao and company raced in a mostly red jersey for the past few years but will switch to a largely white jersey for the new season. 

While the kit is undoubtedly new, it bears a striking resemblance to the switch out kit that the team rode in for this year’s Tour de France which featured a “pearl white” jersey. The jersey is almost identical to the switch out kit but the gold band on the sleeves has been replaced with a blue band, the same shade as that which features elsewhere on the jersey. 

The shorts are relatively simple and are black with a blue band at the base of the thigh, similar to that which features on the jersey. According to the team, the teal shade of blue pays homage to the “rich-pearling beds” surrounding the kingdom of Bahrain. 

Arkéa-B&B Hotels

Arkéa-Samsic is no more, with the Breton team now going by Arkéa-B&B Hotels (remember them?). Why the budget hotel chain is obsessed with sponsoring middling French teams, we will never know, but its addition to the team has not meant a return of Glaz , as it fits into the red of Arkéa.

It is not too different to last season, but it has changed a bit, with less black piping and more red generally. It apparently references the legend of Arthur and Excalibur, which I always thought was a British legend, but is apparently also linked to Brittany - the Celtic connection is possibly why. 

“Our colours remain red and black," the team's general manager, Emmanuel Hubert, said. "These have become a real landmark, a reference over the years within the professional peloton, as well as an identification model for our supporters.

“You all know our history, linked to the Breton territory. This is why our 2024 jersey was designed around the theme “EXCALIBUR”, a legendary Breton sword. This 2024 vintage 'breathes' our origins, our land.”

Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale

Another French team with a name change is AG2R who will go by Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale next season. As a result, Decathlon blue is brought to the forefront of the kit and there is no longer room for brown shorts.

The text remains on a slant, as it has for AG2R Citroën for the past few years, but there is no more red and the effect is to promote the team's new budget retail partner. 

No more brown shorts, but black. I think this is a shame.

Who’s got a special-edition Tour de France kit this year?

All the fresh threads for France, one handy article. 

The Tour de France is the biggest race of the year, and everyone’s keen to look their best for the occasion. For many teams, it’s an opportunity for a new kit – either to make themselves feel extra fancy, or in some cases, because they’re forced to, so they don’t look like the leader’s yellow jersey. 

This year, there’ll be eight nine new kits on the start-line (… we think) – some a result of sponsor changes, others toning down the yellow, and others just because they can. To assist your rider-spotting this July, we’ve compiled them here in one handy spot. 

Bora-Hansgrohe

The German team has skirted colour-based conflict over the years by being a different shade of green to the spinter’s jersey, but – not wanting to be left out of the fun – have shaken things up with new kits regardless. Last year’s special edition Tour kit was a largely white affair; this year they’ve kept it green, got rid of the coloured blocks and subtly hidden a text motif in the background. That text is the names of all the Bora Boys that have ridden at the Tour over the last decade, with “each name carr[ying] the weight of countless hours of training, countless miles conquered and the passion that drives our team.”

On the back is the team’s ‘Band of Brothers’ catchphrase, which is reminiscent of Soudal Quick-Step’s ‘Wolfpack’ but with slightly less violent a waft of Lynx/Axe body spray on the breeze. 

Jumbo-Visma

The team of defending champion Jonas Vingegaard has an extremely yellow kit most of the year round, so it’s little surprise that they get the UCI nudge to make some changes each July. Last year’s smudgy design was based on the artwork of the Dutch Masters, whereas this year’s is representative of “the power of dreams”. The team’s most baffling offering in this theme was a terrifying Jonas Vingegaard AI video , but they’ve been a bit more subdued in the follow-up.

The kit has more black than yellow, stylised constellations everywhere, and – on each rider’s jersey – a separate motif celebrating career highlights. It’s produced in collaboration with a Dutch theme park, with the collection named after a cycling-themed merry-go-round called The Vélodrome. As bonus points, if you’re a Jumbo-Visma superfan and you’re buying your The Vélodrome jersey, you can also pick up a children’s book called ‘Look, I can do it!’ – which features a QR code to get narration in assorted languages by Wout Van Aert, Jonas Vingegaard and others. In conclusion – fine jersey; something for the kids; AI will still end us all.

Bahrain Victorious

Bahrain Victorious were one of the first cabs off the rank, announcing their striking white/teal/gold kit a month ago. It’s a big shake-up from their typical red/orange/black, and according to the team, it’s an “homage to Bahrain’s rich pearling history.” Carrying on in that informational vein, Bahrain Victorious would like you to know that the country is “known as the ‘Pearl of the Gulf'” and that “Bahrain has a great heritage rooted in the thriving pearling industry that flourished in the region.”

That little Middle Eastern economic history primer is reflected in the team’s bikes, kits and helmets, with the teal representing the waters of the sea, and the gold and white symbolising the “shimmering glow” of the pearls themselves. The sponsors stay the same, which means that there’ll still be a big ‘Business Friendly Bahrain’ on the leg (although the business that Bahrain is mostly friendly toward nowadays is fossil fuels rather than aquatic treasures.) 

Anyway. Pretty good kit! Better than the usual one!

DSM-Firmenich

Team DSM has changed names just in time for the Tour, and although their new kit is not a special edition jersey, it’ll be among its first big public outings. It looks almost exactly the same as the old Team DSM kit, but it says DSM-Firmenich on it (technically stylised dsm-firmenich, but I’m not going to do that). Firmenich is a Swiss business that is “the world’s largest privately-owned fragrance and taste company”, and they land on the DSM kit as a result of a merger between the two companies. Don’t worry, you can still get your DSM Yolkfans  – you’ll just be able to lightly perfume them now, as well. 

The new logo across the chest is in a series of white circles, and it actually looks a lot better than the flower or whatever it was that was on there before. The whole thing is navy rather than black, too. Not bad.

Not a team that I’d ever thought of as having much of a social conscience, Movistar is rolling out a new kit they’re calling ‘The Iceberg’ for the Tour de France. Navy blue is out in favour of a mostly white jersey that transitions to blue as it approaches the knicks.

Movistar’s made a big fuss of the environmental goals of the kit, which is a bid to raise awareness of the troubles befalling the world’s oceans. For example, icebergs melting into the sea because of accumulating commercial activities such as designing special kits just for one race.

Wearing a less cynical set of glasses, the team’s kit manufacturer, Gobik, has made the kit of a minimum 60% recycled plastics, and the jerseys will be signed and auctioned (and hopefully, washed) after the race as a fundraiser for environmental causes. So I’ll let them off the hook. Just. 

Uno-X Pro Cycling

The extremely Scandinavian team Uno-X have a big few weeks ahead of them: the team’s first ever Tour de France, its first ever Grand Tour, and – for five out of eight riders – their Grand Tour debut, with Alexander Kristoff contributing the bulk of the team’s experience in this regard. 

The big change on the kit is that instead of being mostly yellow (with a bit of red), it’s now mostly red (with a bit of yellow). This isn’t just for style reasons; the team’s marketing manager has told Norwegian media that the UCI forced the change to avoid a clash with the yellow jersey. 

There’s a change on the sponsor front, too, with the supermarket chain Rema 1000 coming on board. How exciting this will be to you depends on how much you like the sound of a supermarket that is (slightly) less ruinously expensive than the others in Norway, which has enormous frozen salmon that you can sneak into your friends’ little wheelie baskets as a prank. For me, this is about as exciting a sponsor announcement as you can get. 

 Astana Qazaqstan

For the 2023 season, Astana Qazaqstan have added a sentimental sprint favourite in Mark Cavendish, made some surprising moves in the sponsorship space , and – for the Tour de France – changed kits entirely, even though their original one was pretty good already. 

Happily, the special-edition Tour kit is also quite a looker, with a marbled gold and blue design that the team describes as having a “unique charm … similar to the veins of mineral stones,” which is a reference to Kazakhstan’s natural resources. The blue apparently represents the sky, the gold represents the sun, and with their powers combined, they represent the flag of Kazakhstan. 

Also new to the jersey are a couple of new sponsors – KAZ Minerals (hence all the mineral talk) and Freedom Broker, a Kazakh-based “systemic investment company of international level, represented in 8 countries”. 

It's almost time 👀 Full kit reveal – 28th June 🗓 pic.twitter.com/2wXEoSjXJ7 — Lidl-Trek (@LidlTrek) June 26, 2023

At time of writing there’s a lidl bit of intrigue remaining in the kit lineups at the race, with the squad formerly known as Trek-Segafredo yet to reveal their full kit. With the departure of the coffee brand Segafredo, German supermarket chain Lidl have stepped in – with a radically different palette forcing a ground-up redesign. 

There have been a few hints about what’s to come, including the above teaser post that basically filled in the blanks, but for the time being, we’re not sure exactly how much the team will look like they’re all Romanian national champions. For now, we’ll say 70%. Could well be more.

Update 28 June:

It’s here! Please find below a picture of Mads Pedersen ripping his way into the kit reveal on a town bike. The Lidl logo is a bit clunky for my tastes, but all in all, quite cheerful. I’ll revise my ‘Romanian champion’ rating down to 50%.

Israel-Premier Tech

A late arrival to this article, Israel-Premier Tech – forever fond of a change-up – announced a new kit late on Wednesday. Unlike their Giro kit, which was a celebration of wine (or, more accurately, their Italian wine sponsor), this time around it’s an all-Israeli affair designed to “[highlight] the partnership with the country’s Ministry of Tourism, who wishes to present Israel as a tourist destination with many destinations to discover.”

There may indeed be many destinations to discover in Israel, but the kit wants you to focus on just one tourist attraction:  the 1,000+ kilometre walking and cycling path “from Kibbutz Dan in the north to Eilat in the south”. There’s symbolism in each colour on the jersey, the team explained in a press release. “The white stripe representing the mountains and Mount Hermon in the north, the blue stripe symbolising the coast of Israel and the orange stripe representing the desert in the south.”

It’s quite a red-orange, which makes it one of the most French-looking kit in the Frenchest of Grand Tours. Does it also look a lot like Groupama-FDJ’s old kit? Yes! Will that be confusing? Probably!

Is that it?

Who knows. Israel-Premier Tech’s very late arrival has made me suspicious that the kit reveals may not be over yet. If anyone’s going to pull something out of the bag late, my money’s on EF Education-Easypost at the team presentation on Friday night. We shall see!

What did you think of this story?

😐 Meh 😊️ Solid 🤩 Excellent

Pogačar beats Van der Poel in a dominant win at Liège–Bastogne–Liège classic

LIEGE, Belgium (AP) — Tadej Pogačar proved too strong for Mathieu Van der Poel as he won the Liège–Bastogne–Liège cycling classic with a solo breakaway on Sunday.

Pogačar attacked 35 kilometers (22 miles) out to win cycling’s oldest classic for the second time, after victory in 2021, and made up for last year when he broke his left wrist in a crash.

“I’m happy that I can finally win this race again,” the 25-year-old Slovenian said. “It’s beautiful to finish like this.”

The two-time Tour de France champion waved to the crowd as he approached the finish line well clear. French veteran Romain Bardet finished second and Van der Poel led a mass sprint to the line to finish third.

Liège–Bastogne–Liège is one of the five “monuments” in one-day cycling with the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, the Tour of Lombardy and Milan-San Remo. Van der Poel won Roubaix two weeks ago but has not won Liège and Lombardy.

Pogačar beat Van der Poel last year to win the Ronde van Vlaanderen (Tour of Flanders) and they have won six monuments each.

The 254.5-kilometer (157.8-mile) trek, starting and finishing in the eastern Belgian city of Liège in chilly conditions, featured 11 small hills and played to Pogačar’s elite climbing skills. He pulled ahead in a small group with Van der Poel one minute behind.

Van der Poel’s group caught Pogačar with 70 kilometers remaining to form a main peloton. But with Pogačar’s UAE Team Emirates setting a fast tempo at the front, Pogačar attacked again and no rival could catch him.

He clocked 6 hours, 13 minutes, 48 seconds with Bardet 1:39 behind and Van der Poel 2:02 back.
