Not exactly national champion jersey, but GvA has still gold touches to the jersey on the sleeves an on the collar.

Checho's UAE kit is truly awful. However, the national championships are in early February, so, unless he retains his title, it doesn't mean much for now. With a profile yet to be revealed, it is said that the race is another one in his favor though. Although a race in his favor is also in favor of Rigo, Egan and so on.

I'd like to see Riggo win it almost as much to see what EF Education First can do with a National Champion's kit as for any other reason.

Am I the only one who thinks the UAE guy is a 50 year-old stand in for the actual winner of the race (qm)
This guy looks like a grandpa.
Also, kudos on the Canadian nats kit. Predominant yet understated at the same time --if that makes any sense.

Yes! I hate the "just turn the national flag sideways and make a jersey and combine with normal team bibs" look. It's just so lazy and has never made sense to me but this is one of my favorite national kits ever. It's different, looks good, and incorporates the bibs. And it actually mimics the flag rather than that sideways nonsense.

The point of turning flags sideways makes sense when you realise that horizontal bars lead naturally to an homogeneous background colour for any written text on it. Viviani's kit is gorgeous, but blue text on green background not so much.
