Rapha Dossards
This season Down Under, Rapha Australia is providing select events with bespoke race numbers. Being Rapha dossards they aren’t your average kind of race number, using a distinctive palette and printing riders names as well as the number. They aren't your average piece of Tyvek, either. Hopefully the more races you enter, the more Rapha numbers you collect. The images show the dossards' first outing at last weekend's Tour of Bright.
A poignant memento for road riders, the act of pinning race numbers to a jersey has been in place since circa 1893. We know the importance of pre-race rituals and, like the contemplative application of embro or the wrapping of fresh bar tape, pinning the number to a jersey is a major part of the preparation for battle. On race day everyone knows, as they stare at those digits, it’s all in the number.

Joe,
Under your stewardship, one man's sad obsession with fairly dull detail is brought to life superbly. Sublime

Thanks Tim. They look marvellous don't they. Have gone down very well, Down Under. Hopefully we'll get them in the northern hemisphere when our new race season begins. (That seems a long way off at the moment…)

Hi Scott, not sure right now what the schedule is in terms of races… Keep you eyes peeled for some riding in Tasmania from Rapha very soon though!
