Xacobeo Galicia unveils new jersey design

In an official ceremony at the Casa das Federacións in Vigo, Xacobeo Galicia presented its new jersey for the 2009 season on Wednesday. Ezequiel Mosquera modelled the new look which was presented along with help from directeur sportif Jose Angel Vidal.

Director sportif Ávaro Pino missed the presentation due to a meeting in Geneva while Jesús Blanco was also absent - attending the team's second training camp. Officials called the jersey less colorful than the previous one, but said they consider it more easily identifiable within the peloton and more representative of Galicia. The team is hoping to show it off in the 2009 Giro d'Italia, among those it usually attends.
