"As a former pro, I know he just gets it and that’s why we all feel that Le Col is the perfect brand for the team.

“The design of this season’s Team Wiggins kit is my favourite so far, it’s distinctive and stylish, and I am looking forward to seeing the guys racing in it. Working with Le Col’s designers has been a case of perfectly matching their performance insight and design expertise with my passion for historical cycling kit."

The team is set to officially launch it's new kit at an event in London on Tuesday night, which will also include a group ride with team on Zwift in the new kit.
