EF Pro Cycling has unveiled its “Ride In Peace” switch-out kit for the 2026 Giro d’Italia, featuring an extraterrestrial theme that includes an alien face on the front and an upside-down cow on the back.

The kit is designed by Swiss brand Assos, which took over as the team’s kit supplier this season. (cyclingweekly.com)
