![]() That’s some serious commitment to the switch-up from Bahrain-Victorious. Socks from kit providers Alé also get the pearl treatment, as do the team’s Rudy Project helmets and Scicon glasses. The likes of Fred Wright and Matej Mohorič will use white bikes with blue patterning on the forks, as well as the Merida logo in gold, loud and proud on the frame. Although the sleeve edges and bottom of the bib shorts feature a gold colour, the bib shorts stay a relatively safe black.īahrain-Victorious has gone further than just kit, too, their bikes also get an upgraded paint job for the Tour de France. Along the top of the jersey are four pearl shapes, each holding the logos of four of Bahrain-Victorious’s key sponsors. When they released the kit, Bahrain-Victorious explained that the teal accents symbolise the Arabian Gulf while the splashes of gold represent the shimmer of pearls. Usually recognisable in their bright red and orange uniforms, the team will switch to a white get up for the race around France, said to be inspired by Bahrain’s pearling history – a world centre for pearl fishing and trading. One team that sees a significant change to its kit ahead of the Tour de France is Bahrain-Victorious. As the colours are still in keeping with the current iteration of the Uno-X jersey, it’s not going to be too much of a challenge to get used to the bright red version, and with Uno-X’s signature attacking style, we can expect to see plenty of this jersey at the front of the peloton in the Tour de France. REMA 1000’s signature ‘R’ logo sits proudly at the back of the jersey as well as on the sleeves and side panels. While the old jersey was predominantly red and yellow, the new jersey is almost completely red apart from the yellow strip along the middle with the Uno-X logo on top of it. ![]() The partnership makes clear sense as REMA 1000 is owned by the same parent company as Uno-X and it’s said that the men's and women's teams will be using some of the nutrition products sold in store as they race the Tour this summer. For the Tour de France, both the men’s and women’s squads will be backed by supermarket chain REMA 1000. Since then, however, the situation for Uno-X has changed. ![]() At the time, they cited environmental reasons for this choice and also noted that they had no changes in sponsors, so no requirement for a whole new kit. Scandinavian team and Tour de France wildcard, Uno-X Pro Cycling were one of the few teams to keep the same jersey this season, not making any changes ahead of 2023. Cycling commentators, we feel for you… Uno-X Pro Cycling Team It’s hard enough getting to grips with the new jerseys at the start of the season each year, let alone another switcharoo mid-way through. We’ve been keeping our eyes peeled for some of the fresh kits that will be on the start line when the Tour rolls out from Bilbao this year and have compiled a handy list below, so that there’s no confusion on race day. Some teams have specific sponsor changes for the Tour de France which is why their kits get an upgrade, while others simply do it for the undeniable attention it garners on social media.
