Specialized have unveiled a new, lighter and brighter limited edition Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe kit which pays homage to France and the French national football team ahead of this year's Tour de France.

Why is there a rooster on France jersey? The shape adorning France's national team kits and the FFF's logo is the Gallic rooster: a symbol of their home country.

Nike has continued to sponsor the France National Football team since 2011, and for the prestigious Qatar-held FIFA World Cup 2022, the dynamic duo created a subtle yet detailed away kit.

Not France, who proudly wear a rooster on their chest. As one of football's powerhouse nations who have fielded some of the greatest players of all time, the image is very familiar to football fans.
