The color of victory belongs to the whole team
There is one color that, more than any other, represents the essence of cycling. Yellow.
The color of the Tour de France leader’s jersey, the most prestigious symbol in stage racing. The color every rider dreams of wearing, the result of weeks of sacrifice, dedication and teamwork.
To celebrate UAE Team Emirates-XRG’s victory at the 2026 Tour de France, Colnago created a unique collection of custom Y1Rs bicycles, one for every rider who contributed to this extraordinary achievement.
For the first time, the bike celebrating the Tour de France victory is not reserved for one rider only. Colnago created a custom Y1Rs for every UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider, celebrating the collective effort behind the Yellow Jersey. Because behind every champion wearing yellow, there is a team of champions.
Each Y1Rs shares the same iconic yellow livery, while telling its own story through exclusive details dedicated to the race, the team and its riders.
The road to Paris
The complete elevation profile of the 2026 Tour de France route is integrated on the seat stays of every bicycle, from the Grand Départ in Barcelona to the final finish in Paris.
A three-week journey made of climbs, attacks, teamwork and decisive moments that brought UAE Team Emirates-XRG to the final victory.

A victory built together
The names of all UAE Team Emirates-XRG riders who contributed to the success are displayed on the top tube.
A simple reminder of a powerful idea: only one rider can wear the Yellow Jersey, but every Tour de France victory is built by the entire team.
Each bicycle is further personalized with the rider’s national flag, celebrating the international identity of UAE Team Emirates-XRG.
Isaac Del Toro’s Y1Rs: the White Jersey tribute
One bicycle stands apart from the rest.
To celebrate Isaac Del Toro’s victory in the Young Rider Classification, his Y1Rs features a white livery instead of yellow, while preserving the same graphic details of the collection.
A tribute to the Mexican talent and to an outstanding Tour de France debut that led him onto the final GC podium.

The World Champion’s Y1Rs
Tadej Pogačar’s bicycle tells a double story of success.
Alongside the yellow livery, his Y1Rs features a series of rainbow details celebrating his status as reigning UCI World Champion.
The iconic Colnago Ace of Clubs on the head tube receives a unique rainbow interpretation, complemented by further rainbow accents across the frame.
The “manita”: five Tours written into history
But the most special detail is hidden.
By turning the handlebars, a tribute to the “manita” is revealed: Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates-XRG’s five Tour de France victories.
A reference to the previous wins in 2020, 2021, 2024 and 2025, completed by the 2026 triumph – a chapter that has already become part of cycling history.
A bicycle for every protagonist
Even though he did not line up on the final stage in Paris, Brandon McNulty will also receive his custom Y1Rs, celebrating his fundamental contribution throughout the Tour de France.
The Yellow Y1Rs collection celebrates a simple idea: while one rider wears the Yellow Jersey, every victory is built by the entire team.
