LottoNL-Jumbo unveil 2018 kit

The LottoNL-Jumbo team have unveiled their kit for the 2018 season, sticking to the black and yellow colour scheme that has been used since the Dutch lottery company became title sponsor in 2015. The main new feature is an individualised Lotto ball on the rear of the jersey, with a unique number for each rider. 

The LottoNL-Jumbo line-up remains largely unchanged, with Steven Kruijswijk, Robert Gesink and George Bennett leading in the Grand Tours and stage races, Dylan Groenewegen the protected sprinter and Lars Boom targeting the Classics.

New signings include talented 21-year-old American Neilson Powless, compatriot Sepp Kuss from Rally Cycling and Danny Van Poppel from Team Sky.

The design of the new kit, made by Shimano's S-Phyre brand, is much the same as last year's offering. The torso is bold yellow while the sleeves, sides, and collar are black. The team claim the material from Shimano's S-Phyre brand is "designed to cheat the air, maximizing aerodynamic advantages and power transmission to deliver the riders more performance per gram".

The names of the sponsors Lotto and Jumbo appear in black across the front of the jersey, just below a line of Lotto balls, and this is mirrored on the rear. Secondary sponsors are on the chest, including S-Phyre, Brand Loyalty, bike supplier Bianchi, the UCI WorldTour logo, and the team's new nutrition partner Vifit, who also have their logo on each sleeve. 

The shorts are black once again but there's a slight change in that the left leg features a yellow trim.
