Team dsm-firmenich's women's team will debut the new jersey at the Giro d'Italia Donnay, June 30-July 9, and the men's team will wear it for the first time at the Tour de France, July 1-23.
Borla Hansgrohe unveiled a changeover kit at the Tour de France to commemorate the 10th anniversary of its entry in the French Grand Tour.
The team's sponsor, performance cycling apparel brand Le Col, designed the kit to honor the team's legacy at the Tour with a special edition jersey that showcases every rider who has competed in the Tour with Beulah Hansgrohe over the past decade.
Each rider's name and the year they rode are integrated throughout the jersey, further solidifying the team's "Band of Brothers" mantra.
The jersey is made of premium, lightweight, high-speed fabric that promotes breathability and adjusts the fit to further enhance aerodynamic benefits. The jerseys are finished with official team logo detailing, harmonizing with the lighter and darker shades of sea green.
"This is our tenth time competing in the Tour de France. But the stories we have written over the years are still unforgettable. The list is long and the memories are tremendously beautiful," said team manager Ralf Denk, whose team won its first stage win in the Tour with Peter Sagan in 2017 and Emmanuel Buchmann finished fourth overall in 2019.
"I want to thank all the riders who have written these stories with us through this jersey. Without them none of this would have been possible. But I also want to thank ASO. They gave us three wild cards in a row when we were a second division team, thereby contributing greatly to our development. As well as our loyal sponsors who have been with us every step of the way. I hope that this year and in the future we can continue to create special moments in the biggest bicycle race in the world and inspire our fans with our passion."[23
