With his victory at the World Championships in Richmond last week-end, Peter Sagan will wear the rainbow jersey during one year. Cycling kit maker Sportful have revealed the jersey design. This company has published a series of photos, including a drawing of the final jersey.

"The jersey has a very classic look even if it’s a very technical Bodyfit Pro Race jersey," said Sportful Brand Communication Manager Daniel Loots. "The UCI rules on the design are pretty strict; the rainbow bands and dimensions of the sponsor logo are limited in size and position and they have to be black. There’s no fluorescent anywhere and that means we have a very classic design."

"Under UCI rules we can only have team issue shorts or white shorts. We haven’t decided which Peter will wear yet but the rules mean he can’t use black shorts."

His first opportunity to show his new jersey will come at the inaugural Abu Dhabi Tour on October 8.
