Castelli's Official Giro d'Italia 2019 Range
By Saddleback Ltd – 10 May 2019
As an Italian brand steeped in cycling history, the Giro d'Italia is an event to celebrate for Castelli, and this year there's even more to look forward to with a full range of Giro 102 designs.
Being the official leaders’ jerseys partner for the race, Castelli’s designs will be leading the pack from the Giro's Grande Partenza in Bologna.
Months of work from Castelli’s team of passionate designers have gone into the new designs, which will ultimately feature on the podium in Verona after three weeks of hotly contested racing across time-trials, sprints and, of course, epic mountain ascents.
The Maglia Rosa will clad the shoulders of the race leader, its iconic pink colour still reflecting the pages of the Gazzetta dello Sport after decades upon decades of racing.
The Maglia Azzurra is reserved for the climbers, the lithe seekers of adventure who bust out of the peloton on day-long attacks to secure valuable king of the mountains points.
The Maglia Ciclamino’s bold cyclamen colour is a reflection of its owner. Bright, punchy and powerful, it marks out the Giro’s leading sprinter.
The Maglia Bianca’s fresh white design speaks of the innocence of its wearer, the race’s best-placed young rider.
The Maglia Nera might no longer be a staple of the Giro itself, but its popularity with riders last year means that this design, formerly the garb of the last finisher of the race, returns once again in 2019.
THE GIRO 102 RANGE
The leaders’ jerseys are available in a few different guises. For those seeking an exact replica of their heroes’ attire, it has to be the Giro 102 Race Jersey.

Designed to do it all, the Squadra brings together different fabrics and elements that work together to create an exceptional piece of cycling apparel. The main body is light and quick drying while perforated side panels let it breathe easily.
The jersey’s sleeves also have no end seams for lay-flat comfort and pro styling. Finally, the back pockets are positioned and structured perfectly, faithfully emulating the brand’s WorldTour team designs while maximising comfort and practicality.

GIRO 102 STAGE JERSEYS
Castelli has also produced an exclusive collection of Squadra stage jerseys for Giro 102, each celebrating individual days within Italy’s biggest race. The race start is highlighted with the Bologna jersey, the Italian city where riders will spend the Giro’s first two days on their TT bikes.
The richly shaded Sangioverse design pays tribute the Stage 9 time trial, which takes place amongst stunning Italian vineyards.
The Novi Ligure jersey pays homage to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Fausto Coppi, who was born just 20km from the Stage 11 finish.
