Cool Irish touch to Nico Roche's Team Sky kit; here's the first photo of him in the jersey

Here's the first shot of Nicolas Roche in the kit of his new squad Team Sky, complete with the Irish tricolour on the sleeves.

The stripes are included to denote the fact that Roche is the former Irish national road race champion.

The tricolour makes the jersey look very slick indeed.

The Irish man is pictured here with big guns Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas.

We'll have more images for you soon of Roche and his Irish team mate Philip Deignan in the next few days.

But for now, this shot appears to be the only one Team Sky has released.

Its website is currently not operating, but the team has promised to return to full speed with information and photos on the 2015 team next Monday.
