Hommage Au Velo is a new British brand offering stylish cycling clothing that promises performance and comfort. It is a brand that also looks back at the cycling history books to celebrate racing and racers of the past and that is where this Hommage Au Velo Bourlon jersey takes its name from.

Albert Bourlon, on stage 14 of the Tour de France back in 1947, attacked from the start line and stayed away to win the stage. His solo victory lasted 253km and still remains the longest successful solo break in the Tour's history. The Bourlon jersey pays homage to that victory and that record.
