The kit will give the team a new look for the new season. However, the kit also retains many of the features that have made Team Sky riders so recognisable in the peloton. “We really wanted to keep the victory lines which have become part of the team visual language, but we wanted to represent them in a new way.” The victory lines from last year are still represented on the kit.

Photo Essay: What an exciting few weeks and amazing team performance

Chris Froome wrote himself further into the cycling history books after securing a fourth Tour de France victory in Paris. The Team Sky rider was flanked by his team-mates as he crossed the line on the Champs-Elysees, and claimed the famed maillot jaune by an eventual winning margin of 54 seconds. Froome’s third victory in a row, and a fifth in eight years for Team Sky, came after three hard weeks of racing, with the team holding the race lead for 19 of the race’s 21 stages.
