Castelli release limited edition Tour de France Jersey

With Team Sky debuting Castelli kit for their riders this season, it's been announced that the riders will wear this special edition white jersey for the 2017 Tour de France

Team Sky will part with their traditional black jerseys, and will debut the new white colourway at the Tour de France next month. 

The new design still features "all of the elements which have made Team Sky riders so recognisable in the peloton" according to Team Sky themselves, but with the black jerseys swapped for a new, white design. The jersey will continue to carry the distinctive data pattern featured on the 2017 Team Sky kit. 

Sky's head honcho Dave Brailsford said of the new design: “Castelli looked at different colours during the design process last year, and we all loved the white. We are always up for doing things differently and decided the best time to unveil it would be at the Tour - the world’s biggest bike race. We can’t wait to get racing wearing it."

Chris Froome could have your name on the back of his jersey - an unusual yet pretty cool comp for a dedicated Team Sky fan

 

What's more, Team Sky are offering fans the chance to be "right behind them" at Le Tour, revealing they will print your name on the back of the very jerseys that the riders will wear at the team presentation - winners will be announced at the event in Dusseldorf on Thursday 29th June, you can enter here. It's quite a unique comp for sure, and we can only assume you will get one of your own to keep if you happen to be the lucky winner...
 

Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.
