Special event, special jersey!
A Special Edition of the event requires a special jersey… While we’ll never abandon Touro’s classic signature colours of black and yellow, this time (and for a very good reason) we needed something different…
The truly ‘once in a lifetime’ occasion of the Tour de France coming to the Scottish Borders is a huge moment to celebrate and commemorate, so this year’s Touro jersey is doing just that.
The Auld Alliance
Scotland and France have a unique and historic relationship with our famille in France, and that connection runs deeper here than in any other part of Scotland, indeed the Touro route goes past Traquair House, which, through Mary Queen of Scots and other connections going back to the 16th century, has rich ties with France – it’s no coincidence it even looks like a historic French building.
As you can see we’ve set the normal palette to one side and the jersey is mainly Saltire/Tricoleur bleu this year. Auld Alliance graphics are complemented with Touro’s yellow and black chevrons and other traditional event design elements. We hope you like it!
We’ll be flying the flags (and wearing the jersey) for our countries and for the Tour de France all the way to next summer when the whole shebang takes over our roads, our communities, and for a few glorious days, our lives. Vive Le Tour, Vive Le Touro!
Special Edition, Special Price
There won’t be many cyclists who haven’t noticed the eye-popping prices a lot of brands are charging for jerseys these days, so as an event produced by riders and for riders, we’re determined to keep it real. We’re actually reducing the cost from last year’s sold-out Touro jersey, but don’t worry, the quality is 100% as high end as always.
Full zip, aero sleeves, combination of the right ultralight tech fabrics in the right places, 3 good size pockets, raw-edge sleeves.
Full range of men’s and women’s sizes – available to order now, shipping from week two in June, or you can collect from our office in Peebles. Please note we only have limited supplies and won’t be able to re-order before the event, so get your order in fast.
Sizing: pick your normal cycling jersey size – these are standard fit (yes we got the message about how small the fit was on the 2025 jerseys!).

Price for the special edition Touro jersey is discounted to £49 inc VAT.
A £1 minimum donation from every jersey sold will go to Sir Chris Hoy’s Tour de 4 Cancer campaign.
