Kristoff shows off his European champ's jersey
Katusha-Alpecin has revealed Alexander Kristoff's new European Champion's jersey, which will be debuted at the forthcoming Arctic Race of Norway. Kristoff beat Elia Viviani by the slimmest of margins in the road race in Herning at the weekend to take the title.
It will be the first time that the jersey of European champion will be seen in the men's peloton after Peter Sagan won the inaugural elite men's road race last year. With the Slovakian defending his world title, the rainbow bands have taken priority.
Kristoff's jersey will be predominantly white with a band of blue across the chest and sleeves that gets increasingly darker from top to bottom. The stars synonymous with the EU flag are dotted along the bands.

Simon Yates and Spilak headline first PRO Ötztaler 5500
Tour de France white jersey Simon Yates (Orica-Scott) and Tour de Suisse winner Simon Spilak (Katusha-Alpecin) will be two of the headline names at the inaugural PRO Ötztaler 5500 in Austria.
Like Strade Bianche, the one-day event has been inspired by a long-standing sportive. Unlike its Italian relative, it will feature a brutal onslaught of climbing that will see the riders tackle 5,500 metres of ascending – hence the name – over 217.4 kilometres. The event will take place on August 25, two days before the Ötztaler Cycle Marathon, and will cover the original parcours.
