The new look green Lloyds jersey for the leader of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Women has today been revealed, as premium cycling clothing and custom kit brand, Alé, are confirmed as the Official Jersey Supplier to next month’s event. The design of the jersey showcases the Lloyds signature green palette and proudly features the iconic black horse, Cancara.

The jersey will be awarded for the first time in Redcar at the end of stage one on Thursday 5 June, as the race to succeed Lotte Kopecky as Lloyds Tour of Britain Women champion gets underway in North Yorkshire and the Tees Valley.

In addition to the race leader’s jersey, the three other designs created by Alé have also been revealed for the event, which forms part of the annual UCI Women’s WorldTour calendar of the biggest races around the world.

Riders in the Lloyds Tour of Britain Women will compete at nine designated Queen of the Mountains climbs across the four stages for the blue Mountains jersey, won in 2024 by Britain’s Lizzie Deignan, while the distinctive red points jersey will be awarded to the rider who collates the most points across stage finishes and intermediate sprints.

A white jersey will also be awarded to the leading young rider (under 23), whose past winners have included Demi Vollering (2019) and Hannah Barnes (2015 & 2017).

Combining the best Italian tailoring with quality materials, Alé continue to offer an ever-changing range of vibrant designs for both professionals and amateurs, knowing that visible colours are also synonymous with safety on the road.

Alé will also supply the illustrious leaders’ jerseys for both the men’s races this 2–7 September, that will see the world’s best male cyclists competing for the same green jersey and the right to succeed Stevie Williams as champion.
 

Commenting on the jersey designs and Alé partnership, Darren Henry, Chief Commercial Officer, British Cycling, said; “We are delighted to welcome Alé as our partners for the Lloyds Tour of Britain and to reveal the stunning new jersey designs, as we build-up to June and this summer’s edition of the race. 

“These partnerships highlight the continued growth and development of the event and are key to the successful delivery of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Women. We are sure that this year’s jerseys designs will be popular with both the competing riders and the thousands of fans watching at the roadside in June and September.”

The Lloyds Tour of Britain Women gets underway in the Tees Valley and North Yorkshire on Thursday 5 June, with a stage between Dalby Forest and Redcar across the North York Moors National Park, before the second stage from Hartlepool ends with an uphill finish at Saltburn-by-the-Sea.

The race concludes with a pair of stages in Scotland, the first in the Scottish Borders, starting and finishing in Kelso, before the final stage in Glasgow on Sunday 8 June, that will also see the Lloyds Tour of Britain Family Cycling Festival, giving everyone the chance to ride on the traffic free, closed road, centre circuit themselves.
