Nicolas Roche's BMC-Tag Heuer kit by ASSOS and new bike

The new jersey worn by Roche and his new team mates is by Assos and looks pretty damn good to us.

Nicolas Roche will ride for Team BMC Racing next year having moved from Team Sky after two seasons.

And today the Irishman's new WorldTour team unveiled its new clothing for 2017 and the bikes it will ride next year.

The black and red traditional BMC livery remains, but now luxury watch brand Tag Heuer is sponsoring the team and it has been included in the design.

The new kit is by Assos and it looks very slick indeed as far as we are concern.

BMC Racing will obviously ride its own BMC bikes next year; namely the BMC Teammachine SLR01 and BMC Timemachine 01.

It has partnered with Vittoria tyres.

“We are thrilled to be riding with Vittoria tires from 2017 and work with the Vittoria research and development team throughout the season,” Ochowicz explained.

“Our 2017 riders are already riding on Vittoria tires here at our pre-season training camp in Denia on the BMC Teammachine SLR01, which has the new red colorway for the 2017 season.

"At BMC Racing Team we are constantly looking to partner with the best in the industry in all areas of professional racing, and Vittoria tires are no exception.”

While Roche is at the team camp, he is still under contract with Team Sky until the end of the year and will continue to wear Team Sky kit until January 1st when he officially becomes a BMC Racing rider.
