“The new designs are now registered with the UCI as the ‘registered jersey for Irish national champions' to be used after 2022 championships and these are what commissaires both in Ireland and internationally will then use for riders’ compliance,” Cycling Ireland said.
“The use of an incorrect national champion's jersey can result in both fines in Ireland and across the world. As before, all junior and senior national champions will be issued, depending on event, with either a jersey or skinsuit predominantly in white, while Masters will be presented with the predominantly green version of the clothing. Each rider may only receive one item per year.
“In
line with UCI rules there are very strict regulations on where sponsors names
can appear – these are indicated on the designs and within Cycling Ireland
technical regulations.”
