The World Championships is a special event – riders represent their home countries rather than their sponsors, in an attempt to claim the coveted rainbow stripes. Months of preparation accumulate to one, balls to the wall, flat out race run where the only thing that matters is the time it takes to travel between the start and finish lines – it's racing in its purest form. To help riders achieve their dreams, sponsors go all out to create some of the nicest looking, highest performing kit out there. We've scoured the internet to find the pick of the bunch, so keep scrolling to see who is wearing and riding what...
