POGACAR HONOURED WITH SPECIAL KIT AND BIKE FOR RECORD EQUALLING FIFTH TOUR WIN

Tadej Pogacar fifth Tour de France triumph is celebrated with more than another yellow jersey in Paris. UAE Team Emirates-XRG marked the historic victory with a special team look and a collection of custom Colnago bikes designed exclusively for the riders who helped deliver the win.

Kit supplier Pissei has designed a one off jersey for the Tour’s final stage in Paris. The hand drawn design centres on the number five, topped with a gold crown to symbolise Pogačar’s five overall victories.

The years of each Tour triumph, 2020, 2021, 2024, 2025 and 2026, are incorporated into the design.

Pissei first revealed the kit on social media ahead of the final stage, describing the occasion as the team’s “last dance in Paris”. 

The brand presented the design with the words: “Cinq. In yellow. Crowned in gold.”

A special edition Colnago for Pogacar and teammates

Bike supplier Colnago marked Tadej Pogačar’s fifth Tour de France victory with a specially designed Y1Rs for the final stage into Paris.

The Italian manufacturer produced eight custom bikes for UAE Team Emirates-XRG, one for each rider selected for the Tour, including Brandon McNulty, who was forced to abandon the race due to illness. Seven were painted yellow, while one received a white finish in reference to Isaac del Toro’s victory in the youth classification.

Several details on the bike refer directly to the team’s three weeks in France. The profile of the full Tour route is included on the rear stays, tracing the race from Barcelona to Paris. The names of all eight riders appear on the top tube, while each frame also carries the national flag of its rider.

Pogačar’s bike features a number of additional details. Rainbow accents refer to his world champion’s jersey, while five small references on the frame mark his Tour victories in 2020, 2021, 2024, 2025 and 2026.

The bike continues a tradition for Colnago, which has previously created special designs to mark major victories. This edition, however, places the full story of Pogačar’s fifth Tour win directly onto the frame.
