"Signing this agreement was a hugely emotional experience for us and we are genuinely thrilled to announce this partnership with the Tour de France.
"It marks the continuation of a relationship with ASO begun with the sponsorship of the Vuelta a España and followed on with the Deutschland Tour. Now we have also added with the most important race on the international cycling calendar to our tally."
The jerseys will not just be for the men's race as the brand new eight-day Tour de France Femmes race, as well as the jerseys for the l'Etape du Tour amateur sportive.
