The World Tour teams unveil their kits for 2026

Unlike a few years ago, teams no longer wait until the first day of the new year to unveil their new colors. Instead, as a culmination of their first preseason training camps, they hold presentations showcasing the new kits that they will wear throughout the upcoming season. We already know a good number of the kits that will make up the World Tour peloton during the 2026 season.

Presentations of the World Tour 2026 teams and their new colors are taking place

It seems distant those seasons when we learned about the new colors of various teams through social media posts made by the cyclists just minutes after the New Year’s bells rang. In recent times, the squads that make up the World Tour have also advanced towards a more professional approach to this, and the kits that the cyclists will wear are presented at an event that gathers sports press, often taking advantage of the preseason training camps that most teams hold on the Alicante coast.

For now, these are the kits we have come to know, some completely new and others with only subtle changes that, for the average fan, will hardly make a difference. However, the real test will be starting in January, when the Tour Down Under kicks off the new campaign, and we will have to spend weeks associating cyclists with their new teams and new jerseys with the different squads, in addition to the new names that arise from changes in sponsors or mergers like that of Lotto and Intermarché.

Lamborghini, Christmas tree, and new bike: Van der Poel is ready to start

A total renewal in the Decathlon team, which, while maintaining the characteristic corporate blue of the sports store chain and the green associated with the Van Rysel bicycle brand, incorporates red at the bottom to represent the shipping company CMA CGM, which has come to provide a tremendous economic boost to the French squad.

In addition to this incorporation into its name, another important change in sponsorship is that SRAM becomes the supplier of the groups for their bicycles.

Groupama–FDJ United

There are no sponsorship changes in Groupama-FDJ, although it adopts the surname United to reflect the name change of the French sports betting and lottery firm. The solid blue gains prominence in the jersey, dispensing with the geometric shapes of the previous one, and highlights the incorporation of a red sleeve.

Lidl-Trek

Quite a few changes in the jersey of the now German team, as the well-known supermarket chain's sponsorship has become even more prominent, with its colors still setting the tone in the jersey design. However, the central part inherits a geometric pattern that, for the older fans, will surely remind them of the times of the Garmin team.

A third sponsor, Servicenow, a U.S. software company specializing in cloud infrastructure, business workflows, and, of course, omnipresent AI, is also incorporated.

Movistar Team

White takes over from blue in the jersey of the telecommunications team. A design in which Gobik has not taken any risks and that resembles what has been seen in Movistar in other seasons where white has also been predominant, as well as in the jerseys typically chosen for races like the Tour de France.

The main changes compared to these jerseys from previous years are that the base is completely white without the box that constrained the logo, where the corporate M changes to blue instead of the usual white. The usual blue will be maintained for Iván Romeo's Spain Champion jersey, on which a national flag is drawn using gradients in a new display of ensuring that this distinctive jersey does not obscure the importance of the sponsor, taking advantage of the fact that the Royal Spanish Cycling Federation, unlike other federations, is completely permissive in the design of the national champion's jersey.

NSN Cycling

A very geometric design for the successor of Israel-PremierTech that completely breaks with any remnants of the previous stage of the structure. A design with a certain retro point that will surely not go unnoticed in the peloton.

Almost absolute prominence for NSN, with the investment background Stoneweg, the second sponsor of the squad, appearing in a totally secondary manner with its characters practically on the side and on the sleeves, where it will surely be appreciated better than on the front.

Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe

Red Bull continues to gain importance in the sponsorship of the German team, something that is evident with just a first glance at their new equipment, where any hint of the navy blue characteristic of the BORA kitchen brand disappears. Meanwhile, a much lighter blue takes center stage in the sleeves associated with the Boss brand, belonging to the Hugo Boss group, which will provide the off-bike clothing for the team members.

Soudal-QuickStep

Although it has not been officially presented, the cyclists of the Belgian team have been seen wearing the new garments they will use next season during training and photo sessions on the Alicante roads.

A jersey that seems to be taken from a psychedelic vision with an intertwining of greens that combines with the corporate blue.

UAE Team Emirates-XRG

Few changes in the equipment of Tadej Pogacar's team, where the predominant white in the central part is combined with black sleeves. Geometric shapes in red and black are added on one side like a flag, something that may serve to reaffirm the eminently state character of the team.
