Cycling fans widely praised the throwback design, but the team has decided not to repeat the vintage look this year. Instead of leaning into cycling history, Uno-X Mobility has opted for a stark, modern aesthetic for this year’s edition of La Doyenne. The team will be racing in a special kit that is black from head to toe. “You won\u2019t see it coming,” that is how they announced it on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The traditional bright yellow band that normally wraps around the chest of their standard jerseys has been replaced with a dark gray stripe. The only real contrast on the new outfits will come from the various sponsor logos printed on the fabric. It is a massive departure from the highly visible and colorful kits the Norwegian squad usually wears throughout the regular season.<\/p>\n

The team’s equipment sponsors have also joined in on the theme to complete the stealth look. Bike manufacturer Ridley has provided the riders with special all-black editions of their racing frames to match the new dark clothing. The complete package offers what is being described as a futuristic twist on the team’s normally vibrant identity.<\/p>\n

On the racing side of things, both the men’s and women’s squads are ready to tackle the grueling Ardennes course. The men’s team will be led by Tobias Johannessen<\/a>, who takes the start line as their designated captain. He will be supported by experienced riders such as Magnus Cort Nielsen<\/a>, Andreas Leknessund and his twin brother Anders Johannessen<\/a>. Meanwhile, the women’s team will look to Katrine Aalerud for a strong result.
