The jersey to be worn by Sir Bradley Wiggins’ new team, WIGGINS, has been unveiled by manufacturer Rapha.

The London-based company, which also provides kit to Team Sky, said it wanted the design to capture the heritage of British cycling and will work with Wiggins to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio "and beyond".

It said: “Taking design inspiration from road racers like Tom Simpson and Robert Millar, and also other British cultural icons Bobby Moore and The Who, both logo and jersey represent the style, heritage and dynamism of the British pioneer.”

Wiggins added: "I have got to know the Rapha team well over the last few years at Team Sky. They are serious about design and they love cycling almost as much as I do.

"I want a range of kit that looks great but is also functionally practical for today’s cyclist in all their different shapes and sizes, and I know Simon [Mottram, Rapha founder] and the team at Rapha will do the business."

Wiggins will join the new team after leaving Team Sky on April 30. They will compete in the third tier of professional cycling, mainly in British races.
