Visma | Lease a Bike recently shared a teaser, but on the Friday before the Tour of Flanders, it finally presented the jersey. The Killer Bees will ride in a special kit on Sunday, which will remain black and yellow but with some new accents.
The shirt is called 'The Wingbeat,' this is explained in a one-and-a-half-minute video: "As the chill of winter fades, the hive comes to life. The first beats of wings fill the air, signaling not just activity, but coordinated potential. Each move is precise, every bee knowing its role. In these early moments, the rhythm of the season is set and the foundation for success is laid. And the strength of a shared mission begins to shine," as the poetic slogan goes.
We'll leave it up to the creative minds to interpret this. The fact is that Visma | Lease a Bike presents a jersey in which the belly and back are black instead of yellow. The design reflects the Flemish cobblestones. The powerful slogan is 'The Wingbeat: the power of the beehive.' Wout van Aert, Tiesj Benoot, Matteo Jorgenson, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, and Marianne Vos, among others, appear in the video.
