An upside-down number 13 characterizes the Tour de France 2026 jersey of Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe, transforming one of cycling's oldest good luck charms into the boldest design element of the jersey for its 13th participation at the Tour.
The design is set within a modern color gradient that transitions from white shoulders to an intense blue. Clean lines, transparent layers, and bold color blocks give the kit a fresh and contemporary look. This visual language extends seamlessly from the team's new bike design to the jersey itself.
13 – A number rich in stories
The lucky number is at the heart of the design. In cycling, the number 13 has its own particular mythology: many riders flip the number 13 to ward off bad luck. Because even in a sport where data drives every decision, there is still room for superstition.
The number 13 has been the protagonist of many memorable moments. Remco Evenepoel won his first professional victory wearing the number 13, as did Florian Lipowitz.
The number has also brought luck to Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe at the Tour de France. On their Tour debut in 2014, it was the thirteenth stage that brought the German team into the spotlight of the cycling world for the first time. In 2018, the team celebrated victory precisely on the thirteenth stage. A year later, the number 13, with the upside-down bib number, proved to be a lucky charm once again: Peter Sagan claimed his record green jersey, while the team came closer than ever to the general classification podium in Paris.
For Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe, the number 13 connects the team's origins to the present. It reflects the journey from a small wildcard team to a leading contender in the fight for the Tour de France general classification. More than enough reason to put the number 13 at the center of attention and celebrate it throughout the Tour de France 2026.
The Special Edition kit is available now on redbullborahansgrohe.com. Fans can order the jersey in time for the start and show off the team's distinctive look at the Tour de France even after the race.
