Since Wout van Aert has become a Belgian champion, he will not play in this uniform. But the fans’ names are also printed on his three Belgian colors, says the Dutch team on Twitter.
Since the Jumbo-Visma’s regular jersey and the leader’s yellow jersey are the same, the Tour organization and UCI asked the team to ride in a modified jersey. The opportunity to do something special was the team’s idea. So he left the choice of jersey in the hands of bike enthusiasts. Three designs, each with their own story, were created with clothing partner AGU. After a week it turned out fast rebel Most popular with 57,979 votes. The shirt got 44% of the vote.
