Previous versions have varied from the conservative<\/a> to the extreme, with the 2020 collaboration with Palace featuring a cartoon duck<\/a>.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s kit features an alien plastered across the chest, and on the back there is a UFO and an upside-down cow.<\/p>\n EF Pro Cycling parted ways with Rapha last year, with Rapha CEO Fran Millar saying the relationship \u201chad gotten tired<\/a>\u201d. But the team\u2019s new kit sponsor, Assos, has injected new extraterrestrial life into proceedings.\u00a0<\/p>\n Assos CEO Edwin Navez said: \u201cWe believe innovation happens when you challenge conventions, both in how products perform and how they are expressed. Too often in this sport, performance and identity are treated separately. We don\u2019t see it that way.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWith EF Pro Cycling, this is again about pushing both at the same time, engineering at the highest level, and a visual language that refuses to blend in.\u201d<\/p>\n EF Pro Cycling says the design is an invitation: \u201cWe made contact\u2026 A signal. A message: We ride in peace. Do you? Join us.”<\/p>\n In other words, the switch-out kit comes with a ‘Space \/\/ Time’ collection of jerseys<\/a> and bib shorts<\/a> you can buy. The collection is said to translate the campaign\u2019s \u201ccosmic narrative into technical equipment designed for the world\u2019s most demanding stage race\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n It is available now in limited quantities.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"Woman](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AZ_260406_ASSOS_JERSEY40-scaled.jpg\")
