Lizzie Deignan,  John Degenkolb and Koen De Kort showcased their new Trek-Segafredo team kit at the Rouleur Classic today. 

Red continues to be the dominant colour on the men’s kit, but black arms and a white chest band are added to the ensemble offering a touch of retro styling. 

Degenkolb informed the gathered crowd that the design of the Santini kit went through 32 iterations before this one was settled on.

“Finally we’ve got white socks!” he added .
