Team SD Worx will wear a special jersey on Sunday in the first stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. It is part of a collection designed by Amy Peters and symbolizes that the Dutch rider is "still part of the team" in Paris.

Peeters, who is still in rehab after a life-altering crash in December, designed a multi-piece collection in collaboration with Specialized. The collection includes several garments and a special version of the SD Worx jersey.

"In this way the team shows that although [Peters] is going through a long rehab due to a serious training accident, he is still part of the team," said an announcement from SD Worx.

The jersey worn by SD Worx features the team's brand logo and the slogan "Stay Strong Amy," and was unveiled at a pre-race press event on Saturday by Lotte Kopecky, Chantal van den Broeck-Blarck, and Christine Majerus The team was unveiled by.

The team announced that Pieters was planning to launch her own apparel collection before the crash.

"Amy had been busy designing her own cycling apparel collection before the crash. 'It is an honor for the team to be able to present these garments at the first stage of the Tour de France femme in Paris. We are very grateful to the International Cycling Union, the UCI, the national federations, and the Tour organizer ASO for making this possible."

The jersey, named the Ocean Collection, features a blue and pink marble pattern and has been in production since the summer of 2021.

"Inspired by our vacation trip to the US last fall, this collection was quickly established by Amy, her clear ideas, and her trust in us," the Specialized designer who worked with Peeters on the kit, Lizan Dierks, the Specialized designer who worked with Peeters on the kit.

"It was clear what colors Amy liked and what colors Amy didn't like. It's a pleasure to work with someone who has such clear ideas and at the same time trusts us as designers."

The special jerseys are the latest effort by SD Works to support Pieters and her rehabilitation. At last month's Dutch National Championships, a crowdfunding campaign was launched to help the former national champion "get the best possible treatment."

After spending three months in a coma, Pieters is undergoing rehabilitation at a medical center in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, but is now able to spend weekends at home.
