LottoNL-Jumbo reveals a special Tour de France jersey
The LottoNL-Jumbo team has officially unveiled a new-look jersey the Netherlands-based WorldTour team will use at the Tour de France to avoid clashing with the race leader’s yellow jersey.
The new jersey has white instead of yellow shoulders to make it easy to identify the riders in the peloton, while the lower half of the jersey remains black.

Each rider’s name will be on the shoulders of the jersey, while the numbers on the lottery balls on the front and rear are the riders’ lucky numbers. For example Steven Kruijswijk’s include number 9 in his six number balls to represent his first ever top ten in a Grand Tour in the 2011 Giro d’Italia.
The jersey also has a red, white and blue collar to represent the Dutch flag and the Dutch pride of the team as this year’s Tour de France begins in Utrecht in the Netherlands.
"We’ve been in contact with the Tour de France and the UCI from the start of the season to develop a modified design,” team manager Richard Plugge revealed during the unveiling of he new-look jersey in Utrecht on Friday.
