The jersey bearing the inscription “Jan Janssen” was worn by Mathieu Hermans, in honour of the legendary Dutch champion of 1968 after whom this team and event are named. Hermans, one of the finest sprinters of the late 1980s, won numerous stages in the Vuelta a España. Wearing this commemorative jersey, he took part in races paying tribute to Jan Janssen, reaffirming the link between figures from different generations of Dutch cycling. The garment brings history together: a present (Hermans) paying homage to an illustrious past (Janssen), perpetuating the memory of champions both on and off the track.
