Tinkoff-Saxo give sneak peak of Tour jersey

After LottoNL-Jumbo revealed their Tour de France jersey on Friday, Tinkoff-Saxo have given fans a hint at what theirs will look like in July. Like Lotto, Tinkoff-Saxo have moved away from their predominantly yellow kit to avoid confusion with the Tour’s leader’s jersey. The team did the same last year, going for a more luminous yellow with a green tinge.

The team posted a picture on twitter on Saturday morning of Ivan Basso in an incomplete version of the kit. The usually bright yellow has been toned down, with black replacing the blue highlights on the sleeves and shorts. The team has left the bottom half of the jersey and top half of the shorts blank, asking on twitter: “What color should @sportful fill the white spots in the kit with? Does @ivanbasso like purple?”
