Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) swapped his purple or maroon-coloured shorts for team issue black shorts for stage 4 of the Giro d’Italia after UCI commissaires threatened to disqualify him from the race after due to conflicting interpretations of their own rules concerning leader’s jersey.
Pogačar won stage 2 on Sunday and pulled on the race leader's pink jersey. On Monday he raced in a pink upper and purple shorts as part of a skinsuit provided by race organisers RCS Sport and their clothing sponsor Castelli.
