SD Worx have unveiled their 2023 kit, with the updated purple, orange and yellow jersey even brighter than last year’s eye-catching get-up.
The Dutch team, which is perennially among the strongest squads in the women’s peloton have gone for evolution rather than revolution in their new kit design after the major overhauls of the past two seasons.
Following on from the purple and red look of the sponsor’s first season with the former Boels Dolmans squad in 2020, they went brighter last year. Now they have gone even bolder, with a “neon touch” leaving their riders set to look even brighter in the peloton this year.
It’s a similar look to the 2022 kit, with sponsors and suppliers SD Worx, Specialized and Dolmans all present across the front of the jersey, though a stronger purple chest and splashes of bright yellow down the sides make it an even more colourful design.

The team will welcome a new star rider in 2023 with the arrival of European champion Lorena Wiebes from DSM. The Dutch sprinter took an astonishing 23 victories last season, including Scheldeprijs, the Ronde van Drenthe, overall titles at the RideLondon Classique and Simac Ladies Tour as well as two stages at the Tour de France Femmes.
Barbara Guarischi also arrives from Movistar, while Mischa Bredewold and Femke Markus take the step up from Parkhotel Valkenburg to the Women’s WorldTour.
Ashleigh Moolman Pasio is the major name on the outgoing list, the South African switching to AG Insurance-Soudal-QuickStep after two years at the squad.
