First-ever Tour de France rest day jersey designated by Visma-Lease a Bike after fan vote for special-edition design generates 100,000 responses in three days

Wout van Aert models the new Rest Day jersey for Visma-Lease a Bike, which will be incorporated into the 2026 Tour de France with a dark jersey version for race days.

Visma-Lease a Bike riders will wear a dark version of the special 'The Architect' jersey at this year's Tour de France, as determined by 52% of the votes from fans this week. The lighter version of the design will have its own life, becoming the first-ever Rest Day jersey.

Both jerseys include the team's honeycomb theme blended with a tribute to Barcelona as the Grand Depart by blending architectural drawings created by Catalan designer Antoni Gaudí. His building designs are revered as works of art throughout Barcelona, with seven properties listed as World Heritage by UNESCO.
