Team Jumbo-Visma is all set for this year’s Tour De France and Tour De France Femmes. They showcased their new limited edition jersey which is inspired by the work of Dutch Master Painters- Van Gogh, Rembrandt, and Vermeer.
They have even dubbed the 2022 jersey as the “Masterpiece”. Jumbo-Visma clothing sponsor AGU had a lot to say about the new jersey- this is the work of artificial intelligence and designers drawing inspiration from the Dutch Master Painters and giving a whole new look to the men and women of Jumbo-Visma.

Team Jumbo-Visma and AGU shared their views about the new jersey:
The algorithm analysed fifty paintings of Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Van Gogh to highlight small renowned pieces.
The most outspoken pieces were composed into a design palette, creating The Masterpiece for riders like Primož Roglič, Wout van Aert, and Marianne Vos.
The introduction of these new jerseys is actually good and will feel like a wave of fresh air. Their regular design of the black and yellow color feels and looks similar to the race leader’s yellow jersey, there needs to be a visual and apparent difference.

Primož Roglič will be at the helm for Tour De France, he will be leading the team for the mammoth event. For the Alternate Leader position, the team has selected Jonas Vingegaard.
Jumbo-Visma Team Manager said:
Last year, we released our first special edition Tour de France jersey with AGU. We enabled our fans to be a part of our journey by adding their name to our official jersey. That gave us the inspiration to take it a step further this year.
It is exciting to see that we were able to develop a jersey inspired by three Dutch Masters through innovation. It is the perfect example of our heritage and our future goals.
This special kit is also available for the public and includes caps and gloves. It can be purchased between 14 and 25 April. The new jersey has been designed to inspire and motivate the riders of Jumbo-Visma, both men and women. We can’t wait to see them in action in Tour De France!
