"Given the overwhelming success of the innovative camo training kit that Tinkoff Saxo presented last December and its widespread use by amateur cyclists around the world, it seemed only natural that some of its elements would be incorporated in the sleek new kit that Tinkoff-Saxo riders will don at the Tour de France. While the kit our nine-strong squad, spearheaded by our leader Alberto Contador, will wear in France retains the traditional yellow and blue colors of the team, grey, in the form of camo patterns, and black take a more prominent place on the shirt, bib shorts and socks. - Tinkoff-Saxo press release.
