Ryan Mullen has changed team to Trek Segafredo and this is the first look at him in his new Irish champion's kit. It looks like it's a shamrock-free zone this time around for Mullen.
Irish national champion cyclist Ryan Mullen has togged out in his new Trek-Segafredo kit.
Mullen officially departed Cannondale-Drapac for his new team on the stroke of midnight. And as the Irish road race and TT champion it fell to his new team to produce Irish champion's kit for him.
He took to Instagram to share a photo of the gear this morning.
At first glance it looks like it's a shamrock-free zone for 2018. And it's clearly a lot warmer where Mullen is than for many of us on this New Year's Day.
The team has gone for a subtle look. A mainly white jersey sees a wide green band added across the chest. And the Irish colours adorn Mullen's collar and jersey cuffs.
