British performance cycling apparel brand Le Col will be supplying technical clothing for the men’s UCI World Tour team BORA-hansgrohe from the 2022 season, as part of a three-year technical kit partnership.
Le Col kit includes skinsuits and speed-suits, which have harnessed technology from the ‘Project Aero’ collaboration with aerodynamics experts at McLaren.
The apparel firm will be fully kitting out the German team, which will include former Colombian national champ Sergio Higuita and Giro d’Italia contender Aleksandr Vlasov. With the recent announcement that Sam Bennett is returning to BORA-hansgrohe, Le Col will also be outfitting one of the world’s fastest sprinters.
Le Col founder, Yanto Barker, said “Over the past year, the Le Col team and I have spent long hours working on a world-beating aerodynamic package for the BORA-hansgrohe team. We’re incredibly excited to be back in the UCI World Tour with BORA-hansgrohe, a team we have admired and aspired to work with for a long time.
“We are honoured to be working with some of the greatest riders in the world and we are especially looking forward to providing their performance cycling kit for the coming season.”
Ralph Denk, BORA-hansgrohe Team Manager, added “We hope to set a new benchmark together, most notably in terms of aerodynamics and performance, as this area has become increasingly important over the recent years.
“Le Col’s resources, know-how and experience are highly promising here; and we are very much looking forward to working together.”
