Tour de France 2023: Organisation instructs jersey change
The Tour de France organisation ASO instructed the team to wear the normal jersey again, as the special edition looked too similar to the green jersey in the points classification. The racing team confirmed this to the German Press Agency. The green jersey is darker than in previous decades due to a colour change by the sponsor.
Bora-Hansgrohe wanted to celebrate its tenth participation in the Tour with the special jersey. All the names of the riders who have ever ridden for the team in the Tour of France were incorporated into the jersey. In terms of colour, the green tone was lightened slightly, while black and red elements disappeared completely. The jersey was only allowed to be worn on the first stage, after which the ASO withdrew it from circulation.
