Is this the best national champion's kit of 2017? Larry Warbasse shows off stars and stripes jersey
Aqua Blue Sport and clothing sponsor Vermarc don't hold back with US champion's kit
Depending on the team, national champion's jerseys can be a bit hit and miss, but Aqua Blue Sport have shown the rest how it's done with Larry Warbasse's US champion's jersey.

While Dutch champion Ramon Sinkeldam had to make do with some tiny red, white and blue stripes across the front of his Team Sunweb jersey, Warbasse's stars and stripes are suitably loud and brash, with Aqua Blue's branding subtly integrated into the design.
Warbasse is racing in the kit for the first time at the Vuelta a Burgos this week, coming home in 36th place on Tuesday's opening stage as he made his comeback in his first racing appearance since winning the national championship at the end of June.
