The city of Nìmes plays host on August 19 to the start of La Vuelta and Santini will be official producer of the leader jerseys for the 2017 edition. The 60-day countdown to the start of the Iberian Peninsula’s leading stage race began with its official presentation last Wednesday in Madrid. There are four official leader jerseys for the 2017 edition, all designed and manufactured entirely at our headquarters in Lallio, Northern Italy.

The Bodyfit technical fabric has been selected for the sleeves and back of the jerseys because of its ultra-comfortable ‘second skin’ effect which guarantees a perfect fit. Our designers chose extra-light Rudy fabric, also made by Sitip, for the front because of the exceptional breathability it delivers wearers. Lastly, there is no elastic gripper on the sleeve cuffs and the zip is invisible.

The jerseys are the highest expression of our experience and skill in terms of cut and manufacture to ensure they meet the needs of both the professional cyclists that will be wearing them throughout the race and amateur riders who can also purchase them. All of the La Vuelta a España jerseys have an exceptionally aerodynamic fit as well as combining comfort, performance and breathability. The latter factor in particular is especially important as temperatures will soar to well over 30 degrees at certain points in the event. Exclusively for La Vuelta, we will also be making the jerseys from Sesia micromesh for the very hot days. This incredibly light fabric weights just 95gr./m2 and is exceptionally breathable.

“These jerseys have allowed us to make a real leap forward as the Vuelta brand and the partnership with a company like Santini, which is synonymous with cycling, guarantees the jerseys will be top quality. It also allows us to open the doors to retailing to the public which can purchase them and show them off wherever they go,” declared Javier Guillén, Managing Director of Unipublic, which organises and stages La Vuelta.

The entire La Vuelta Collection is now available at www.deporvillage.com, Santini resellers and on the Santini website.
