Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe adds inverted ‘13’ to 2026 Tour de France jersey

For the 2026 edition of the Tour de France, the German‑registered Red Bull‑Bora‑Hansgrohe team will feature an inverted ‘13’ on the front of its racing kit. The reversed number, placed on the chest panel, marks the squad’s thirteenth appearance in the race and reflects a long‑standing superstition that the digit can bring good luck. Team officials noted that riders such as Florian Lipowitz and Remco Evenepoel have achieved early victories while wearing the number 13, reinforcing its positive image.

The move replaces the usual aerodynamic winglets and underscores the team’s desire to link its early days as a small invited outfit with its current status as a contender for overall classification. The French rider Bruno Armirail (Visma) will wear the ordinary number 13 in the same start, highlighting the shared symbolism across teams.
