Rapha launch commemorative UCI Hour Record t-shirt

Commemorative t-shirt celebrates distance of Wiggo's UCI Hour Record

After Sir Bradley Wiggins rode into the record books on Sunday night, Rapha are giving fans the opportunity to celebrate his UCI Hour Record with a commemorative t-shirt.

Wiggins, whose eponymous team are sponsored by the London-based brand, smashed the record at London’s Lee Valley Velodrome, setting a new benchmark of 54.526km.

And fans can show their support by getting their hands on a commemorative Rapha t-shirt, which celebrates his distance with a ‘54.5’ motif.

The cotton t-shirt has a slim-fit and longer-cut back panel to make it suitable for riding in and will cost £25.

Fans will also have seen Wiggins donning his own commemorative long-sleeve jersey moments after breaking the record, which featured a mod roundel and the 54.526km distance.

Rapha say the bespoke celebratory jersey took eight people more than 200 hours to design, while the final golden numbers were hand-sewn inside the velodrome.

Crafted from fine Japanese silk, with rainbow stripes on the cuff, Wiggins’ jersey also featured concealed zips on the sleeves.
