The Alpecin-Deceuninck team have changed their race clothing design just a month into the 2024 season, opting for a double denim lycra look that harks back to the Carrera Jeans kits of the 1990s worn by Marco Pantani, Claudio Chiappucci, Stephen Roche, and Djamolidine Abdoujaparov. 

The Belgian team have moved away from their blue into black fad of the last few years but the new design immediately sparked concerns that it is too similar the blue fade and red logo colours of Soudal-Quick Step.
