Rapha to redesign Olympic champ's kit after UCI rule oversight

Richard Carapaz's EF Education-EasyPost kit lacked the required gold

Cycling brand Rapha is redesigning Richard Carapaz’s Olympic champion’s kit for the 2023 season, Cycling Weekly understands.

As a result, the Ecuadorian is expected to wear a different, although similar, EF Education-EasyPost jersey to the one previously produced for him and released last week.

Cycling Weekly questioned whether the initially released jersey was compliant with UCI specifications. According to the governing body’s Jersey Visual Guidelines, the Olympic champion’s jersey must bear a specific gold-coloured piping, which was not present on Carapaz’s original kit.
