Here’s some images just released by Dan Martin’s Garmin-Barracuda team revealing its new look for the upcoming Tour de France.
The electronic giant SHARP has come on board as a title sponsor ahead of the biggest race of the year, with the kit changed to accommodate the addition of the new backer. Designed by clothing company Castelli, the new look will be debuted when Martin and his team mates roll off the start ramp at the Tour’s prologue in Liege on Saturday.
The new jersey and shorts prominently display the SHARP logo while retaining the Garmin and Barracuda logos as well as the argyle signature design of Slipstream Sports, which owns the team.
“We are thrilled to welcome Sharp to the team’s family. Team Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda is the most tech-savvy team in the peloton and the addition of this new sponsor, prominently displayed on the new kit, is special for all of us involved,” said Steve Smith, Castelli brand manager.

“Additionally, this team is rider-centric, and Castelli has done its part once again to make sure the riders have the most comfortable and technically-advanced clothing for all racing and training, and especially for the Tour de France.”
“In addition to the new colours, the riders will be wearing the updated light weight hot weather shorts and jerseys that the Giro d’Italia crew tested and improved. We’re counting on similar success with the clothing in the heat of France in July.”
