Bora-hansgrohe has published these first photos of its Irish riders Sam Bennett and Ryan Mullen in the German World Tour team's new kit for the rapidly-approaching 2023 season.
The 2022 was a winner in the eyes of many and this time around the team largely sticks with that look, save for the addition of more red panels, which make a bolder statement. The team said Specialized and Le Col had designed the new kit “taking inspiration from US sports”. The new-look kit will soon be available to buy via Le Col's website.
Bora-hansgrohe claims Le Col has "developed one of the fastest jerseys on the market yet". It also claims "strategically placed tripping panels and seam layout smooth the airflow, while also minimising drag to further increase the riders efficiency when riding at higher speeds".

It added a "more premium, lightweight lycra has been used" offering "the perfect amount of stretch" though "still offering a dialled-in fit for a further aerodynamic advantage" without restricting the riders movement. The race bib shorts were "cut to focus on racing and speed" using the "exceptionally comfortable Pro Dolomiti chamois, with a highly effective silicone treatment - giving unparalleled comfort and removing any excess bulk".
“Le Col is renowned for creating the fastest kits on the World Tour and this one is no exception," said Bora-hansgrohe founder and managing director Ralph Denk. "The 2022 Giro winning kit worn by Jai Hindley directly influenced the 2023 season’s kit and we know full well that it will take the team to exciting places in the coming year.”
