The 2026 kit

For its debut Tour de France the team ditches its regular navy-and-gold 2026 season kit for a one-off limited-edition summer kit built around three named colors: 'Luxter Venice' (a pale metallic ice-blue), 'Tarmac Grey' and 'Champion Gold'. The jersey reads as predominantly white/very pale ice-blue: shoulders, chest and the ribbed aero sleeves are pale ice-white ultralight mesh, while the lower torso fades into a pale-grey hip band overprinted with a tonal dark-graphite honeycomb/hexagon 'Q-Lab' pattern that wraps the belly and sides. A dark-navy curved Pinarello 'P' swoosh graphic sweeps across each side panel under the arms. All sponsor lettering is dark navy. Centred on the chest, stacked top to bottom: the UBS wordmark with its three-crossed-keys emblem, then a larger PINARELLO wordmark with a small gold-and-navy Pinarello 'P' crest above it, then the Q36.5 logotype directly beneath; a small SRAM wordmark sits beside the zip and a slim vertical Q36.5 runs down the zipper placket. A large black UBS three-keys emblem is printed across one shoulder-top; the upper right sleeve carries a big navy Q36.5, the upper left sleeve a big navy UBS, and both sleeves show a small black SGS logo with a gold underline just above the cuff. Low pale self-colored collar and plain pale cuffs, no contrast bands. Bib shorts are 'Tarmac Grey' — a mid warm grey — with a darker graphite honeycomb print across the thigh panels and small navy/white Pinarello and Q36.5 marks near the hem, with grey leg grippers. White socks and a pale ice-blue ABUS aero helmet with gold-trimmed vents and navy PINARELLO lettering complete the look, matching a Dogma F painted in matte Titan grey and Luxter Venice with Champion Gold decals and gold-logo Zipp wheels. Note for accuracy: Fred Wright rides this Tour in the white British national champion's jersey with red-and-blue Union Jack bands instead of standard team kit.
