Under the official name of Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka, the first African team in the WorldTour has officially unveiled its team kit. The jersey will be black with green details.

Cameron Meyer, Merhawi Kudus and Songezo Jim have showed off the kit which has nothing to do with the white jersey that was revealed on the International Cycling Union (UCI) website.

Douglas Ryder, Team Principal said: “2016 becomes our biggest step up in our team’s existence, the 1st division or WorldTour in cycling requires depth and consistency and I am confident that our riders and staff are ready for this incredible challenge. Most importantly we have been fortunate to receive support from the most incredible partners in so many areas and on so many levels on and off the bike. Our partners will help this team move forward successfully and ensure that the Qhubeka Charity remains at the forefront of everything we do as we continue to accelerate the ambitions of African cycling and make an impact that matters in the communities.”

Brett Dawson, Dimension Data’s Group CEO said, “In the past 10 months since Dimension Data entered the world of professional cycling, ASO appointed us as its Official Technology Partner. Then in July, we became a sponsor of Team MTN-Qhubekasponsor p/b Samsung. Today, we‘re very excited to officially become the title partner of Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka. We’re looking forward to accelerating the Qhubeka Charity and the ambitions of this amazing team as we continue to support their iconic rise from being one of the five wild-card teams invited to ride at last year‘s Tour de France for the first time, to becoming the first team on the African continent to participate in the UCI World Tour this year.”
