As 2018 arrived around the world, riders and teams revealed their new colours for the rapidly approaching road season.
While some riders were able to reveal their new colours at team presentations and media days, most were obliged to wait until January 1 to respect their previous contracts that ended on December 31.
Fabio Aru sportingly thanked the Astana team for their six years together but quickly showed off his new UAE Team Emirates jersey. Aru is the current Italian national champion but his jersey disappointed many because it is similar to the team colours with only a red, white and green band on the waist.
