Team Sky launched its new kit yesterday at The Rouleur Classic event in London. Rapha, who have provided the kit for the last four years, ended their partnership at the end of this season to be replaced by Castelli. The new design “contains a mix of British and Italian influences, and the graphic celebrates every victory from Team Sky’s seven seasons.”

They have retained the iconic blue and black styling  but have added a new feature: a data pattern with each stripe representing a specific Team Sky victory.
