Finnish National Road Race Championships
The Champion's Jersey
The Finnish National Road Race Championship is a cycling race where the Finnish cyclists decide who will become the champion for the year to come. The winners of each event are awarded with a symbolic cycling jersey, just like the national flag, these colours can be worn by the rider at other road racing events in the country to show their status as national champion. The champion's stripes can be combined into a sponsored rider's team kit design for this purpose.
